Proposal: WHO game

The topic of the game is to eradicate cholera, malaria, yellow fever and possibly other diseases.

Educational objective

Construction and management simulation

The game could contain a limited construction and management simulation for research facilities of the WHO.

Objectives (ideas)

  • Breed a genetically modified dragon fly that decimates the Anopheles mosquito (the malaria host) effectively.
