In this paper, our group formed by Postdoctoral Fellow Daniel A. Burbano Lombana, Postdoctoral Associate Roni Barak Ventura, Undergraduate StudentYin Tian Chen, and Prof. Maurizio Porfiri created an online serious game through which K-12 students can interactively learn the ecosystem of a freshwater species and how human activities can influence it.
