Science Island is a computer game to communicate scientific principles to children in a fun, cool and scientifically accurate way. More than 75 scientists from some of the world's most prestigious institutions collaborated with students from Swinburne's Digital Media Design program to answer these questions by creating children's books, animations, quizzes, posters and games.
To play the Science Island game you must learn scientific principles by watching animations, playing games, completing quizzes and doing experiments. For each activity the player earns tokens to fix the rides and unlock the secrets of the Science Island theme-park.
