Who doesn't love Jeopardy?


This game was developed for use with the smart board. The students can touch the board and reveal the answers.



The students created questions that show pictures of blood cells that help them to review hematology for the test.

(the answer is segmented Neutrophil)


Sandra and Andreja are the MC's for Who Wants to be a Millionaire.

Learning by playing games




Students in the Laboratory Major complete the year by creating a final game to help study for the End of Course exam. The students in the pictures have created games like "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" and "Jeopardy". Creating the games helps the students to review information that they have learned and create a variety of questions for the games. Reviewing is much more fun for not only the students that make the game but also for the students that play the game.
