After allocating tasks to the students in Week 8, Raquel and I were excited to see what the students have come up with. A few of the kids were tasked with coming up with a slogan, a few with ideas for a logo and others were tasked with doing more drawings. Everyone was told to come up with a question that we can use in the trivia.

To our delight, when we got there, everyone on our team was drawing! Some were drawing trees, some a scene from the ocean. Below are some of the drawings.

Copy of the contract we made for the following weeks:

Everyone was tasked with a job to do on Earth Day and also for homework. Jeet and Veer were both assigned the researcher’s role.

 

USER TEST

We had the incredible opportunity to play one round of our game using the PowerPoint we prepared. It took around ~25 minutes and provided us with lots of good insight into what we should work on for the next iteration.

The kids suggested the following:

• make some questions more generic and easier so that people don’t get completely stuck on one question
• allocate different points to questions depending on level of difficulty
• have a cheat sheet for the PowerPoint operator so they know where the right answers are

Prototype 1 screenshots:

Kamali’s trash drawing was used to create a scene of a forest with polluted river. The tree background is an image I found elsewhere and used for testing/ideation purposes. The resulting image was used as the main background of the game until more drawings of trees/forests were done by the students.

Richard’s logo drawing was used as a test Trash Trivia logo. The logo was animated to have flashing effect where the letters alternate from cyan to white.

A tree picture from the internet, decorated with Kamali’s trash drawings was used as the tree of trash that appear behind every question.

The cross pattern from Kamali’s trash bin drawing was used as a background for the questions. Pressing on Show Question displays a new question.

Pressing on Show Answers displays the answers hidden behind black boxes. Clicking on each box reveals the answers behind.

 

SOUND EFFECTS

The entire team participated in series of recordings for sound effect for Trash Trivia. The result of this session will be posted in the next post.
