Biowars is an online experience that couples interactive learning with exciting plot lines and games to open children's imaginations to the sciences.
Biowars teaches children biology and especially the human immune system. The story portrays the battle between the immune cells of our bodies & the invading microbes, facilitating the education of human biology. The game and comic book illustrate the roles of our various cells, how they help us combat sickness and why we should take care of our bodies. Each character portrays a type of cell or microorganism, whether it be a T-cell or an attacking virus. The physical features and abilities of the Biowars characters accurately represent the biological aspects of their real-life counterparts.

The Biowars interactive game and comic book help children identify themselves with the main characters in the storyline and understand the role of each cell in our bodies by strategizing during the game so as to find the best way to defeat adversaries such as macrophages using the body's natural defense mechanism.
