Have fun shooting vaccine at bouncing flu viruses and sick school kids while learning facts and strategies to help you fight the flu in real life. Gain points by picking up CDC facts throughout the landscape. Move from outside the school to inside its hallways. Watch out! The halls of a school are filled with sick kids and viruses that will drain your power. Run back and forth between the city, the school and the street as you build up points, avoid the flu and maybe even learn something along the way. Beat the Flu was written in Scratch, with a 4th grader as the lead programmer. Scratch is a language developed and maintained by MIT. Scratch is gaining popularity as the right choice for teaching programming in elementary schools throughout the country. As of May 27th, 2011, there are more than 800,000 members of the scratch community with more than 1 million projects uploaded. Scratch programs are open source. You are encouraged to download this application, remix it and share your version of this application. Have fun! Source Data: US CDC 2010-11 Influenza Vaccination Estimates
