Beyond The Woods

" Beyond The Woods " is a individual school project to gamify the experience of learning for primary school kids. The topic - Science : Microorganism act as the content of the game. The objective of the project is to make learning fun for the school kids.

According to the research insights,  our education systems tend to be exam oriented, this has caused students only asked to memorize formulas and figure out obscure word problems. Although Science is an inspiring subject but students only get to memorize without understanding the subject.

Solution:

"Make Learning Fun and Engaging"

My target audience are the 12 years old kids who are learning microorganisms world. The goal is to make learning more engaging. Students can learn in their own pace without being rushed to understand the subject through gamification.  Also, gamification provides positive vibes and fun elements in the learning process, which raises the level of user engagement.
