AJ’s Recycle Rescue
This project was one of several PBS’s Hero Elementary educational games in which I was UI/UX lead. This game in particular teaches 1st-3rd graders the concept of cause and effect, specifically that you can take two objects and combine them to create another entirely different object that’s greater than the sum of its parts.
Fun challenges I dealt with include designing kid-friendly UI size for a tiny mobile screen, emphasizing game critical cause and effect relations with minimal text and icons, and designing complex tier system behavior and crafting system without resorting to abstract UI that younger demographics might not be able to understand.
