Inspiring children for technology
Windesheim wanted an activity for its event stand that gets children interested in technology.
The result is an educational tablet game in which children learn about rubber waste, sustainability and what a car tyre is made of. It combines playful challenges with clear learning goals about the environment and technology.
Cure a sick car tyre
The player's task is to cure a "sick" car tyre. In X-ray mode, children discover which parts are missing or broken.
Then the race against the clock begins. They search the event stand for the right parts and repair the tyre step by step. With every part they find, the tyre gets a bit healthier, until it is fully repaired.
Augmented reality at the event stand
Augmented reality places the tyre in the player's own surroundings.
The game links physical movement to digital interaction: children are literally put to work while they learn about recycling and technology. Short, challenging rounds are meant to keep them engaged and make them want to play again.
