Lab Bench Chaos

Information

Have you got what it takes to grow cells in the lab?

In this game the player is given the task to grow as many cancer cells as possible in the lab, making sure temperature and pH levels are kept at optimal levels, the water and food levels are kept high and waste is removed.

This game was designed and developed as part of Centre of the Cell’s STEM Pod refurbishment in 2023. It is displayed on a dual display touch table interactive which opens up from the nucleus of the STEM Pod.

Centre of the Cell is an informal science education centre opened in 2009 and conceived to engage young people with cell biology and biomedical science, to raise aspirations, to encourage positive health choices and inspire the next generation of biomedical scientists and clinicians. It is located in the Blizard Institute at Queen Mary University of London in Whitechapel.
