Arizona Science Center has a rich history of exploration, innovation and collaboration. Beginning as a community project of The Junior League of Phoenix in 1980, the Center has established itself as a major institution of learning for families, teachers and students and other guests. Over three decades, with substantial help from the citizens of Phoenix and years of focused content and program development, the Center has grown to serve over a half million guests annually, of which nearly 140,000 are school children.
The continued growth of the Center and its close connection with the Arizona community provides a unique experience for everyone it reaches. Using an informal, hands-on approach to science exploration and inspiration the Center has more than 164,000 square-feet of space, of which 98,000 is dedicated to the exploration of our guests. Additional learning opportunities and services include outreach programs, focused field trips, camps, classes, to-the-moon and beyond presentation in the Dorrance Planetarium, immersive shows in the 5-story Irene P. Flinn Theater and featured exhibitions.

Description:
Play doctor in the 21st century!
Practice modern medicine by examining all dimensions of the body, from organs to molecules, as an interconnected system. Use innovative tests and treatments to heal your patients, not hurt them. With "Doctor Know," the Arizona Science Center seeks to help teachers, students, and the general public understand how how biomedical innovations are transforming medicine.
In the game, players assume the role of a physician who must diagnose and treat patients using a toolkit of tests and treatments. At the start of the game, that toolkit contains familiar, established techniques. Over the course of the game, players can adopt innovative new biomedical tools to diagnose their patients more accurately and treat their ailments more effectively.
From supercomputers to bioinformatics to nanotechnologies, "Doctor Know" features dozens of cutting-edge and futuristic tools that will become available in the coming decades. Furthermore, by viewing their patients' bodies as an interconnected system, players can better target their tests and treatments and minimize side effects and suffering. Step into the future of medicine as a doctor in the know!
This game complements gallery laboratory experiences, theatrical demonstrations, outreach programs, biomedical lecture series, and online content available from Arizona Science Center at Pathways to Medical Discovery for Educators and Body Depot and was funded by a National Institutes of Health Science and Education Partnership Award.
