Dream Team Challenge Blog #2 Week 4

In our group, we decided that we would make a Mobile Application. And the purpose of the app is to get our target audiences get interested in learning more about STEM. So using the time given to think, ideas after idea, brainstorming here and there, we finally came up with an idea to get our target audience interest. That idea is to create a mobile game. Mainly because our target audience are kids and teenagers ranging from 7-17 years old and it's without a doubt that they spend most of their times playing games on their devices rather than learning. So we came up with a game concept based on the game The Sims. But in our perspective of the idea, is more to learning and educating both the sim character and the user. So for example, there are stages where the sim character must learn something based on STEM. And in order for the sim to learn, the user must learn it first.Then and only then can the sim character get through a certain stage based on what questions or challenges it might provide the character. So if there is a stage where the character must learn or do something that involves with Mathematics, the user must use their knowledge on that specific curriculum (STEM). And to gain that knowledge, the user must obtain it from school. The game basically follows what the user's learning system is like. If the user gets left behind and the character is in a stage far from what the school is currently teaching, then the user must find a way to obtain that knowledge in order for their character to graduate.Each character is based on he age of it's user. The older the user is, the more challenging the stages gets. As soon as they reach their final exams, they will have to use every single knowledge that they have that relates to STEM in their papers. If the game character fails, the character doesn't graduate. But if the character graduates, the user can receive IRL rewards such as scholarships,money and many more.
