Idea

A game for the OLPC laptop targeted at 8 – 12 year old children. The objective of the game is to teach children about how pollution, global warming and mismanagement of the water supply is affecting the world’s water resources. This is accomplished using an intriguing storyline, fun characters, a variety of interesting environments to explore, and an appealing graphical interface. The game adheres to a high level of scientific accuracy and realistically depicts many aspects of the job of an environmental scientist.
