    I was looking into science locations and came across this great interactive site: Synthetic Biology Interactive (SBI) is an educational resource for students new to synthetic biology. This world was produced as a project of the University of Calgary IGEM Team.
    I started my journey falling down a slide into the depths of a bacteria filled ecosystem. Dr. Squidmund Freud narrates part of the adventure for me. Wild E. Coli are among the creatures taking over the kingdom. I am supposed to find something to stop them. A note card from Arnold Squidnegger provides information on killing the Bacteria.
    This is one of the most fun and interactive learning environments that I have encountered. The easy to follow path, the tour guide, the helpful note cards all aid in understanding the journey. It is a colorful and wonderful world with real life lessons and name parities. My students would love learning about bacteria in this environment!
