Objective: To create an engaging and educational experience by developing a customized snakes-and-ladders-style board game that teaches the drug discovery pipeline, featuring achievements or obstacles that mirror real challenges in the process.
Method: Participants will take part in a life-sized board game, progressing by rolling a die. Along the way, they will encounter achievements and obstacles that reflect real challenges in the drug discovery process, causing them to move forward or fall back. The first player to reach the finish line wins.
Learning Outcome: This game will reinforce drug dicovery process in a fun and engaging way, enhance critical thinking and problem-solving skills through interactive challenges, and promote teamwork and friendly competition while learning science.
