+summary: An educational game for GTAC exploring the human immune system
+location: /cv.06
+template: cv
+---
+
+This was a javascript-based online game, built for the Gene Technology Access Centre
+([GTAC](https://gtac.edu.au/)). I was mainly involved in the design phase, as opposed
+to the development, but what a design phase it was!
+
+The goal of this game was to help teach VCE level students about the human immune
+system through an interactive game. Of course, this meant that the first step was to
+learn all about the human immune system. Over a period of many weeks, there were many
+discussions with the GTAC educators, alongside actual immunology experts, to get a
+handle on which cells play a role in the immune system and their function.
+
+There was a lot of back and forth, gaining knowledge, assembling it and then
+confirming it with the experts. In the process, I think even the educators learned new
+things.
+
+Afterwards, we had to translate the cells and their processes into game mechanics —
+attacking invading pathogens, recognising pathogens and utilizing the lymphatic nodes 
+to produce appropriate T-Cells, sending out different forms of Dendritic Cells and 
+acrophages... In the end it became an interesting (and hopefully entertaining)
+real-time strategy game. And I learned a lot about the immune system in the process.
