Gamer's Solve Scientific Problems 2011

1) How did gamers use the computer game

Foldit to solve the protein folding mystery ?

They used it as a model maybe ??

2) Who can participate in this problem solving and be

a player in Foldit .

Anyone with strong critical thinking skills can play this game !

3) What can critical thinking do for science ?

I'm not all that sure what critical thinking can do for

science , but my guess is it's really helpful in a way ..

4) If you can solve a mystery through gaming for

any kind of disease or illness in the world , what would it be?

I think it would be like some kind of game for cancer because that's how my

grandma die and I would love to cure it .. But I'm not sure if

they have a game for that ??

Mini Game 2011

Was it hard to make your assignment ?

Umm , the Mini Game assignment wasn't all that

difficult .. In some places it was , but not really .

I feel maybe it would be hard for beginners .. But that would be it ..

What was the best part of the topic ..

The best part of the topic is probably when

you get to draw and then see the movie at the end .. Which

I find it awesome , might not be to others ... But to me it is !

The worst part ?

The worst was probably trying to get all the codes down

and making sure its the exact cold and they each

have a instance name and you have to have on a

separate layer .. Basically starting out and have the codes seems a little hard

to me , but that's just me might be different to others .

September 9 , 2001

How old were you on September ?

When 9/11 happened I was at least 3 or 4 years old and

i was really young by that time so I really didn't know what

happened , until now !

When did you first learn about the attacks and

who explained these events to you ?

I think when I first learned about these attacks is when I

was in second grade and my teacher Mrs.MaClain

my teacher is the one who told me only about the Twin Towers

not the other ones.

What kind of impacts did these attacks have on

your life and your parents lives ?

I'm really not sure about my parents lives , but mine it kind of does bother to see like the

two tallest towers fall down or get torn down like that

and maybe actually one day I would like to see the Towers , but I can't

now /:

What was the issue with this game ?

Some people might remember this day and take it horrible

once again .. Or maybe the game wasn't all that great

like they said " Eventually a plane is going to sleep threw " ..

How do you feel about it ?

To be honest I kind of feel bad just to even hear about it ,

and now they have a game about it makes it more terrible for me !!

What is the problem with portraying on such a awful violent event

through a video game .

I think the problem is people playing and reliving the tragic day , maybe

that's how people feel?
