The game

A K-12 educational game in which students explore the ocean, the water cycle and climate science — how temperature change contributes to extreme weather, and what we can do for a stable climate. It is part of the Engaging Every Student programme and is playable on the web.

My contribution

I implemented the game’s mechanics, user interface and core features on this $75K project, working with the client, game designers and artists to define the technical requirements. The game exceeded the client’s KPIs on engagement and review rating.
