WoWiWe Awarded Phase 2 TBEG Grant

Good news for WoWiWe Instruction Co this week; we received word that our Technology-Based Entrepreneurship Grant (TBEG) was approved! This project will put Virtual Cell in front of thousands of students at local and underserved schools, schools that might not otherwise have the opportunity to experience our game.

We always welcome the chance to put Virtual Cell in front of new eyes; WoWiWe gains useful feedback from every new player! Each teacher helps us improve our classroom support, and each student helps polish the gameplay.

We thank the North Dakota Department of Commerce for accepting our proposal, and the NDSU Technology Incubator for shepherding us through the process. Expect more good news in the Spring of 2014 as this project gains steam.

Electron Transport Challenge Now Available for Smartphones and Tablets

Electron Transport Challenge, WoWiWe's educational minigame about the electron transport chain, is now available on three major app stores for 99 cents! Find it for your favorite device from Google Play, iOS App Store, or at Amazon.

The WoWiWe Virtual Cell's Electron Transport Challenge is a puzzle game where the objective is to rebuild an electron transport chain inside a mitochondria by moving and aligning proteins. When enough chains are functioning properly, energy production becomes steady enough to win the level.

Electron Transport Challenge is also available within WoWiWe's flagship product for PC and Mac, Virtual Cell. Virtual Cell teaches students about the inner workings of a plant cell, including the electron transport chain, photosynthesis, and osmosis.
