Our project
Cell City transforms subcellular biology into a real, explorable metropolis. Every organelle becomes a building, district, or transport system, and just like a real cell, each part must operate and cooperate for the city to thrive. It’s part science translation, part systems-thinking sandbox, and part immersive world. The microbit was used to demonstrate the workings of the Mitochondria, which produce energy, the centrioles, and the nucleus.
Our inspiration
The NIS Scholars wanted to make real-life connections. They wanted to see and experience what they were learning, not just memorize diagrams. A project that showed interdependence—how many small parts have to cooperate for a big system to work
