The project was inspired by the global issue of environmental pollution. The team aimed to create an engaging and interactive learning experience for children, incorporating elements of play. Recognizing the influence of popular superheroes like Superman, Spiderman, and Batman on kids, they aimed to shift the narrative by portraying individuals who actively clean up litter or work towards reducing harmful emissions as superheroes. Their goal was to raise awareness among the younger generation and highlight the importance of environmental stewardship. By emphasizing that anyone who picks up litter or takes steps to minimize harmful gaseous emissions is also a superhero, the team aimed to instill a sense of responsibility and inspire children to take action for a cleaner and healthier environment.
The Journey
The LAP journey proved to be an exhilarating adventure filled with valuable lessons, excitement, and various challenges. Throughout the journey, the team's self-belief grew stronger, boosting their confidence to face and conquer the encountered challenges, embracing them as opportunities for growth and enjoyment.
Key Learnings
Throughout the process of game development, the team discovered the effectiveness of learning through trial and error, allowing them to explore their preferred learning methods. They encountered various challenges, with the most significant ones being the addition of more levels and the design of the character. To overcome these hurdles, they sought guidance from software experts and conducted thorough research online, implementing a collaborative approach to problem-solving. By leveraging their combined efforts, the team successfully added different difficulty levels to the game and incorporated toxic gases within the levels to raise awareness about their harmful effects. This experience not only expanded their technical skills but also fostered a sense of ownership and empowerment as they overcame obstacles and developed solutions together.

The Impact
During the school's PBL (Project Based Learning) Culmination Day, the team presented the first level of their game. The parents took a keen interest in the project, and the students thoroughly enjoyed playing it. To further facilitate... accessibility, the team shared the game on Google Classrooms, allowing students to engage with it even outside of school hours. The game had a profound impact on the students, leading them to become more conscious of their actions and sparking discussions on how they could take responsibility for the well-being of the Earth. In addition, the team uploaded the game on YouTube, widening its reach and inspiring more individuals to join the movement. The project also sparked a newfound interest in game development among the students, with many expressing a desire to learn coding. Recognizing this interest, the team sees the potential benefits of introducing coding as a subject for learners and is ready to provide support and assistance in this regard.
Way Forward
Currently, the game is accessible for play on desktop and laptop devices. However, the team's goal is to expand its availability by developing a version that can be played on mobile phones as well. They recognize the importance of reaching a wider audience and maximizing the game's impact. In addition to this, the team has ambitious plans to create more games that raise awareness about various social issues and promote sustainable development goals. By utilizing the power of gaming as a medium, they aim to engage and educate individuals on important matters, fostering a greater understanding and collective action towards building a better future.
