Digital Games

The Wisconsin MRSEC has developed three digital educational games that are all free to play! These games are a great way to introduce concepts to your students, learn/review fundamental science, and have fun!

Lost at the Forever Mine, our newest addition takes you on an adventure as a materials scientist who crash-lands on an abandoned mining planet. Using mathematical models, you must determine if you have enough fuel to make it off the planet before your oxygen runs out! This fun, interactive game allows young scientists to practice relating equations and graphs and working with scientific models.
