Eterna conveys RNA structure and behavior through gameplay, allowing students to interactively explore, intuit, and engage with biochemistry concepts and even take the next step to directly contribute to cutting edge research.
Building on over ten years of development of the Eterna citizen science game at Stanford University, Carnegie Mellon University, and other institutions, Eterna and its partners have created a range of resources for teaching RNA biochemistry and integrating Eterna into the classroom.
