• Guardians was designed with high school and undergraduate university students in mind (see Suggested Curriculum Connections); however, our goal was to create an enjoyable experience for any learner, regardless of their age or knowledge of the subject matter.

• Educational games like Guardians allow learners to exercise their creativity, critical-thinking, and problem-solving skills to navigate complex concepts in a safe, immersive environment. Unlike traditional didactic teaching methods, educational games have the unique ability to motivate players by tapping into their intrinsic reward systems and desire to compete with themselves and with their peers. Learners are more engaged and have agency to direct their own learning in creative ways. We believe that Guardians can help students and the general public form a strong fundamental understanding of DNA, empowering and preparing them for a future world where the application of DNA-based technologies is commonplace.
