More and more people are interested in games for entertainment, while using games in the education seems to speed the process and make it more effective than traditional methods.
Games seem to combine the different learning styles in one place.
Besides, the experience a game creates depends on the game type. They can be story based, goal oriented game, and/or educational/discovery types.
These are all amazing ways to share an idea or help spread a knowledge while targetting different age ranges and preferences in learning methods.
Our platform would also encourage and/or work with well-known studios to develop games based on popular characters and make them focused on the topic of space and propulsion systems for younger users (i.e Dora)
Our idea is a website that can represent a virtual playground. It will have two possible roles: A developer, gamer/user and explorers
This will achieve the following:
The development is incomplete nonetheless this is what we aimed at:
As a demonstration we planned on developing an example of these games. It would be a Q&A where the player gets to collect a specific propulsion system's parts by answering questions. Each time they get a part they can read the explanation as well as play with it to see how it is from different sides, then continue to the next stage.
We chose this challenge to explore propulsion systems and because it has the "creation" part.
Both team members would like to re-explore or re-train a skill they have.
Those skills are 3D modeling and development.
Our approach was determined by the goal. This said, Nabil worked on the 3D modelling being something he wants to upskill while Meryem focused on development.
The tools were:
Our primary goal was to find (a) possible solution(s). The completion of the practical tasks for us, as a team, wasn't required since the aim of the whole participation is to provide solutions (ideas) and get our hands on the skills we wanted to advance.
We haven't. To learn about the propulsion systems we relied on online presentations or lectures.
