Whac-a-Nutria

In our neverending dedication to bring to light all things nutria, today's story comes out of Zachary, Louisiana. Earlier this year, a group of students attended a conference in Lafayette presented by 3-D Squared and were challenged to create a video game that addresses 3 key issues: coastal erosion, obesity, and education. The Zachary and Lafayette students came up with "Whac-a-Nutria" and teacher Margaret Atkinson said the experience was "life-changing" for the kids as they had to learn how to "problem solve and work as a team". The Advocate has the full story.
