How to build a Human: Design a Card Game Challenge

Teacher CPD and School Challenge National Launch

Friday 8 January 2021, 4-5pm

The How to Build a Human: Design a Card Game Challenge is designed to stretch your students’ imagination and develop their creativity skills by learning all about the Human Cell Atlas (HCA).

The challenge is simple, students will design a card game inspired by the Human Cell Atlas and their knowledge of human cells and tissues. The best design will be chosen by award winning game designer Richard Heayes, HCA scientists at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and Little Inventors. 

The students who submit the winning card game concept will work with Heayes Design to have their game developed into a real product which will be sent to every participating school across the UK! The winning game will also be featured in a national touring exhibition as part of One Cell At a Time, a year-long arts project exploring the areas where art and science meet within the Human Cell Atlas.
