Family Science Games Night – Melbourne

Deakin University is hosting three Family Science Games Nights during National Science Week. Have fun with family and friends and learn some science at the same time!

Each Deakin University campus will be hosting a Family Science Games night where families can play a range of science educational board games.

Collect groups of animals in Go Extinct and learn about classification; learn about the body while trying to infect and kill family members in Organ Attack; and build a killer virus with Virulence. A variety of board games suitable from early childhood to adult will be available to play.

Events will be run by Deakin University science education academics and students who are experienced in playing games for learning. Information about resources that enable families to continue play or create science games will be available on the night.
