The World Health Organization has quarantined an island nation due to an outbreak of a nasty illness. Students must work collaboratively to purchase materials, build a device, and deliver necessary medical goods, food, (and chocolate!) to the Toxic Island’s ill inhabitants before time runs out. Can RVA students work together to save the island, or will it perish?!
