Abstract
Microbes are essential in every environment, with an important role in the fight against climate change. Promoting microbiology literacy, especially among children, is crucial. Our Ibero-American consortium uses gamification to make science and microbiology education engaging, tested through outreach campaigns in Costa Rica, and promoting future campaigns across Latin America.
