Project Description
An app for school (3rd to 5th grade) students to gain a better understanding of the world and different cultures that they may not otherwise get the chance to explore.
Our reasoning behind this app is to assist educators in creating a more multicultural curriculum/education. While it teaches students about the cultures of different countries in a fun way, it also encourages discussions around biases and prejudices that need to be targeted at a young age!
Online Identity
We hope this app also helps students navigate their online identity in terms of their racial or cultural identity.
Help students feel proud of their culture and express it to their classmates!
Online Community
Our ultimate goal through the interaction with this app is to produce inclusive and respectful citizens who are open to differences!
Since this app is designed for a younger audience, we hope to foster a safe and positive online community for them to participate in.
Discussion Board: Post discussion threads relating to cultural knowledge.
Pen Pals: Students up with a pen pal in a different country! This could also assist with learning a new language.
Information Organization
Main Features
This is the Home page of the app. The instruction box will be on every page that needs directions so that every learner will know what they need to do. There are four main sections in the app: Start Travel, Travel with Others, Go To Store, and Get Help.
START TRAVEL
At the start of the game, players will be able to customize their own character by choosing a gender, giving a name, and having an initial outfit.
TRAVEL WITH OTHERS
There is an online community in the game. If players want, they can choose to have a small competition with the other players.
GO TO STORE
In the store, players can use the prizes they collect from the puzzles to buy clothes and accessories for their characters.
GET HELP
Students can have a online communication and interaction with the other players in this section.
