In addition to learning about programming, the motivation of this project is to generate video games that raise awareness of “green” issues. Not only is this video game an effective educational tool, but it’s also a fun and immersive experience that parents and teachers can use to inspire young people to become active advocates for the environment.
This video game is presented with a simple interface and flexible programming that allows it to be adapted to various environmental concepts that you want to raise awareness and educate. It is a game specifically designed to educate young people on the importance of environmental education. The game’s intuitive handling and engaging dynamics make it easy to use and understand for players of all ages.
The game’s setting is set in a detailed and realistic natural environment, where the main objective is to collect the garbage scattered in the area. To do this, the player will use a garbage truck, navigating different terrains and avoiding dangerous elements such as chemical contaminants or radioactive materials. This mechanic not only teaches about proper waste management, but also introduces players to the dangers of certain types of waste. The message of this game is: let’s keep the mountains and forests clean of garbage and waste that humans generate.
This game incorporates two fundamental elements for environmental awareness:
Interactive Education: Through the action of picking up trash in a natural environment, players learn in a practical and direct way about the importance of keeping spaces clean and free of waste. Constant interaction with the virtual environment reinforces learning and makes it more memorable.
Empathy and Awareness: By engaging players in activities that promote cleanliness and conservation of the environment, the game fosters greater empathy for nature. Players develop a deeper awareness of the need to protect and preserve our natural environment, understanding the negative impact that waste can have on ecosystems.
In addition, the game can include additional levels and challenges that address other environmental issues, such as recycling, reducing the carbon footprint, and protecting wildlife. As players progress, they can unlock educational information and practical tips on how to apply this knowledge in real life.
It is a basic game that should complement the education of the youngest both in formal environments in schools and in the family environment. The game is a powerful tool in education and awareness if it is managed correctly and its use by the youngest is controlled.
