Your Body's Blueprint
Discover the incredible engineering of the human body, from the electrical signals in your brain to the living architecture of your bones.
Like Duolingo, but for Your Body's Blueprint. Tomo turns the whole topic into a game you play five minutes a day, until it actually sticks.
A short one: 12 levels across 2 sections, about 24 minutes end to end, roughly 5 days at five minutes a day. It moves through The Command Center and the Frame and The Systems in Motion. It starts from scratch.
