Learning wildlife safety through play project preview

01

The challenge

The team wanted to help families discuss how children might respond when encountering wild animals around Brisbane.

02

The approach

I developed the selected concept, mapped the interaction through storyboards and designed the web interface. I created the map, locations, animal states and character actions used to support the learning scenarios.

03

The outcome

The team deployed the game on UQ Zone and recorded a demonstration. The final scope retained the girl character and simplified the proposed character-selection feature.
