Gaia

Team Gaia aims to create an educational game that teaches young kids about the lush rainforests of our planet. We are working together with Montainview Elementary School to give students an experience on that will teach them about the wondrous ecosystems and wildlife that thrive, hidden away under the cover of dense trees and other plant life. Our game will be developed for tablet devices which will help make the experience more interactive and tangible to the students, driving the immersion.

Our goal is to give the students a feeling of discovery and to impart to them a sense of what this unique habitat is. We also want this game to not just educate the players about the rainforests but to also fill them with a thirst for more knowledge and a drive to explore more about this splendorous biome.
