Producer & Designer
Dino Lab: Research Quest is a “serious game” made to enhance higher order critical thinking skills in elementary and junior high school students. Players are given the chance to build their very own dinosaurs and test them under various stages (e.g. “will it stand?”, “can it eat enough?”, “can it reproduce?”, etcetera). They then will need to answer questions answering why they did or did not succeed the stage. In the end, the player is rewarded with a printable 3D model of their creation.
