Zoodemic

Zoodemic is a serious game for educating elementary, middle, and high school students about zoonotic disease prevention.

A student can test their gaming skills by vanquishing multiple waves of viruses. Power-ups can be obtained by answering relevant educational questions related to basic hygiene, epidemiology, and zoonotic disease prevention

Educational content in the game was sourced from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (https://www.cdc.gov/onehealth/in-action/influenza-and-zoonoses-education.html), Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (https://resources.cste.org/yia), the University of Nebraska Medical Center, and Iowa State University Center for Food Security & Public Health (https://content.cfsph.iastate.edu/YouthInAg/yinag-kids.php & https://content.cfsph.iastate.edu/YouthInAg/yinag-teen.php).

While published by the University of Nebraska Omaha College of Information Science and Technology, this project is a partnership between University of Nebraska Omaha and University of Nebraska Medical Center.
