Explain how the videogame can be used in an educational context:
The player can learn about nanotechnology and many science topics in the field of physics, chemistry and biology through fun and games. As the goal is to escape from the nanoworld you have to manage several tasks.
It is good for educational use because the topics are connected to the curriculum.
