Adaptation by natural selection interactive simulator

This educational tool allows exploring the concepts related to evolution, adaptation, and diversity, among others through a simulator that can be used in both formal and non-formal education contexts.  This tool also incorporates the evaluation instrument to measure the impacts of this and other educational approaches in both formal and non-formal education contexts. This resource tackles educational and communication goals and offers valuable information about the educational impact and evolution of learning outcomes, interactive educational resources based on scientific concepts, and the potential of gaming collaborative development to increase science literacy. The scenarios, and situations of this game, are inspired by rural locations and in daily life experiences, with Drosophila (fruit flies) as the main characters, a well-known and studied model organism to understand evolution and adaptation to the environment.
