🌟 Exciting News! 🌟
We are thrilled to announce that games developer Owen Senior will be presenting his new game, ‘Aggi’s Tiny Friends’, at the Protistology UK Autumn Meeting at the Natural History Museum in London this week! 🏛️✨
The original idea for a game to educate the public and young gamers about protists came from our founder Professor Harriet Jones. The new game takes the idea of shrinking down to protist size from Paramecium Press book, ‘Aggi and the Mystic Boots. ‘Aggi’s Tiny Friends’ aims to promote public understanding of the importance of protists to the wider environment, by making a fun and engaging game for children and adults alike. 🎮👧👦
In ‘Aggi’s Tiny Friends’, players build their own protist and see how it fares in different environments. Can you find food to grow and dodge other protists out to eat you or will it succeed in reproducing itself? Collect your own ‘sticker book’ of all the protists you encounter and learn about their roles in the environment. 🌍🔬
Excitingly, the game will become available to the public early in the new year! 🎉
In the meantime, you can dive into the world of Aggi by purchasing the book.
This game can bridge the gap between science and education. Let’s inspire the next generation of scientists together! 🌍🔬
