Outbreak squad is an interactive game that teaches kids how to identify, treat, and prevent outbreak from food borne illnesses. There are four different categories of character skills to properly treat an outbreak! These characters broadly represent enforcement, education, healthcare, and research! Each character has a unique skillset that allows for combination tactics to help reduce, protect, and heal those from the outbreak! In between levels, different situations such as trust in science and government funding affect different character abilities causing students to think how to best approach the outbreak to avoid any deaths within the population. While this game is great and interactive, the focus is more on the points than what they represent. I think this in conjunction with additional health education would encourage the youth to engage with the material at a deeper level. This game is grade for middle school students as a way to understand health practices and their surrounding influences.
