I discovered the Genome Island after being in SL for only a few weeks….well, I shouldn’t say I discovered it. A random person flying by my apartment landed on the deck and gave me the landmark. I’m sorry to say I don’t remember his name, but I do appreciate the tip!
The Genome Island was created by Max Chatnoir, who was on hand to give me a tour of the place! It is a Fabulous exhibit on gene related science…
A few things you can do on Genome Island:
- Explore the Abbey of St. Thomas and see historical displays about Mendel
- Visit the Greenhouse and Orangerie to play Guess the Parents and the Mating Game
- Visit the North or South Garden to explore dominant genes or text cross with flowers
- Explore a 3-D cell on the Terrace
- Relax and Enjoy the Ducks at the Gene Pool
- And much more!
Max has put a ton of work into this island, and visiting it quickly helped me see just how wonderful a virtual environment can be for education! It’s a must-see!
