Learn Epidemiology in 1854 London
This build was made to teach basic principles of epidemiology and historical context of disease using John Snow’s investigation of a cholera outbreak in 1854 in London. You get to play through a recreation of it based on some historical sources being experienced. Stephen Gasior (Xootfly) will guide you through the ideas and design.
