Particle Builder - Learn about the Standard Model while playing against an AI*

Particle Builder Online is a web-based education game designed for high school physics students. Students can play against an AI opponent or peers to familiarise themselves with the Standard Model of Particle Physics. The game is aimed at a high school level and tailored to the International Baccalaureate and the Australian Curriculum. Students from four schools in Canberra took pre/post-tests and a survey while completing a lesson where they played Particle Builder. Students' understanding of particle physics concepts improved significantly. Students found the game more enjoyable and effective than regular classroom lessons.
