NIH Partners with ‘Kahoot!’
A new partnership with the global learning platform ‘Kahoot!’ was recently launched to provide quizzes from across NIH in a single place.
“Reaching young people to teach them about biomedical science and inspire them to pursue careers in science is critically important to ensuring a diverse and vibrant biomedical research enterprise,” says Dr. Jon Lorsch, director of the National Institute of General Medical Sciences. “Our partnership with Kahoot! expands NIH’s STEM offerings, providing educators with free, interactive learning tools to spark student interest in health sciences.”
Look for games that hundreds of thousands of people have already played and for brand new games that we’ve recently created! Familiar games include Superbugs!, National Drug & Alcohol IQ Challenge and the Brain, Pain Prevention, and Anesthesia. Now there’s a Kahoot! course called the Science of Sleep. Be sure to check out these new games from across NIH:
Health Literacy from NCCIH—helps students better understand scientific research to make informed decisions about their health
