Neuropal - play and learn

Neuropal is a free educational app that teaches about the Nervous System and shows us the big and small decisions we can make to keep everyone safe. Developed by a multidisciplinary team of students and professionals from the biological sciences, science communication, computer programming, game design, and audiovisual arts the app aims to empower young children from 7 to 10 years old, with the knowledge to prevent common accidents that can lead to serious injuries, while exploring the anatomy of the nervous system and the important functions it performs.

The App challenges us to take a journey through 6 levels, overcoming risky situations, from reaching a high place to riding a scooter. It will be necessary to be aware of our environment, follow safety instructions and avoid hasty shortcuts. Good deeds performed along the way, such as picking up the garbage or turning off the tap, are valued. The App also includes a quiz about safety, which contextualizes the actions taken during the game, and modules about anatomy and function of the nervous system, to emphasize the importance of keeping it safe.

Every completed level can be replayed as many times as we want, to show off our new safety skills and improve our score.
