One classic story, told in three parts.

Frankenstein200 is a free, episodic online story game paired with a series of fun hands-on science activities related to robotics, genetic engineering, and electricity. By teaching a robot how to draw, experimenting with simple machines, or even bringing their own "creature" to life, learners will encounter the same questions and ideas Mary Shelley had when writing Frankenstein 200 years ago.
