Genome Heroes (The Game!)

As part of QPHI’s genomics education program and its ongoing commitment to educating Qatar’s youth and children across the globe on the importance of precision health and genome science, the Genome Heroes comes to life.

Genome Heroes is a unique mobile game application, with a primary goal of teaching children about genome science. The innovation game was developed by Qatar Genome under QPHI with the support of students from Qatar Foundation schools and is now accessible to users worldwide in both English and Arabic via the Apple Store and Google Play.

Genome Heroes is the first of its kind to simplify the science of genetics and heredity. Through the game we aim to achieve the following learning outcomes:

Raise awareness on genomic science through fun, interactive experiences.
Inspire the next generation of scientists and researchers.
Build a foundational understanding of genomics for children, introducing key concepts step by step, and gradually expanding their knowledge.
