Brief

Design a social and technical intervention that helps users meaningfully and responsibly collect data from others and / or their local environment to live well together.

Solution

My team developed FoodChains, a card-collection game where children collect cards by going out into nature and recording nature species. Cards can be used to play the FoodChain board game, encouraging social interactions among peers.
