Idea for the Project

Last Friday night, the Hex group had another conference. We talked about the things that our courseware should have. We already visualized our project D-LIFE's environment to be a house with a lot of things to learn through the different rooms in it. With that, the students will know that they can also discover new things in their homes and not just in school. Anyway, we consider our homes our first school and our parents as our first teachers.

The group decided to make the rooms sort of "clickables", wherein the students can play games while learning and/or watch videos that gives information about a certain topic in Science. The parts of the house that we'll include are the garden, kitchen, bedroom, living room, dining room and the bathroom.

In the living room, Hex decided to put an aquarium where the students can feed the fish. We based the idea of fish feeding from the game Feeding Frenzy. In the bedroom, we'll have a picture of a kid and his/her body systems drawn. Maybe it could be somewhat a matching type game wherein the player should match the body part [word] to the picture. In the bathroom, it'll be a clickable heater then a game will load about the conversion of energy. In the kitchen or the dining, we'll have a memory game that features different food or food mixtures, solutions etc. Lastly the garden, we'll feature an animal and the game would be the right way of taking care of it.

This is what we've discussed during our conference last Friday night. Hex will meet again for another discussion about the storyboard. Hex already found an artist who is willing to draw the story board for the group and we just have to pay for his service.

Oh! And by the way, we already got the mailing address for our hopefully sponsor, Smart, all we need is the finalized letter to sponsors from our instructor, Ma'am Sheli Moscatel.
