Robot Factory

Problem

The combination of no formal CS education in middle schools and a lack of qualified CS teachers in K-12 schools presents an opportunity. How do we fulfill society’s need for human resources in computer science while building interest and competency in this field?

Approach

In design evaluations, the team examined the game’s usability, learning deltas, fun factor, and overall sentiment of the playtesters. they preassessed computer science knowledge and experience with a qualifier survey and provided tutorials for each play session. After the playtests, they evaluated learning and sentiment, focusing on computational knowledge and skills gained.

Solution

Robot Factory is mobile game where playersfirst learn and utilize the fundamentals of computer science to build up their character. After this stage of the game players are able to go and battle other player characters, rewarding those who invest in learning the core concepts of Computer Science.
