We are in awe after watching Lucy Walker’s animated documentary “The Contenders” about the Foldit group involved in mapping the structure of the Mason Pfizer Monkey Virus. Brilliantly done!

The Center for Game Science at the University of Washington focuses on solving hard problems facing humanity today in a game based environment. Our focus is on scientific discovery games, games that discover optimal learning pathways for STEM education, cognitive skill training games, games that promote human creativity, games that explore collective over individual intelligence, and many more.
