　　The Motivation

　　Phil's Laberia was designed and developed in order to create an accessible form of bioengineering education. Wet lab skills are hard to digest and very expensive, making them difficult to access within secondary education. Our team wanted to create an educational game where students can reinforce the basic steps to common bioengineering techniques, while having the ability to read and comprehend the science behind these ideas.
