Dewie's Expedition is an edutainment app designed to help kids learn about the water cycle in a fun way. After conducting some research on existing water cycle games, I found that there weren't many. The apps and computer games that did exist are not clear in their instructions, or are focused more on all life cycles.The app is geared towards kids that are 10 years old and are very active. The app is vector oriented and utilizes bright colors to appeal to younger kids.
Below is a scenario of a student using the app:
Jack needs to learn about the water cycle for his science class. His teacher tells him to download an app and to create an account. After entering a username and password, Jack selects story mode. He notices that there are 4 locations, but only one is unlocked. After selecting the location, a screen appears with 4 missions. Jack picks the first mission and a screen appears with a brief statement about evaporation and transpiration, along with the instructions for that mission. After Jack completes the mission by reaching the certain amount of points, he moves on to the next 3 missions. Jack has now completed all missions and wants to unlock the next location. He answers a series of questions about the water cycle and unlocks the next location. He notices that missions are a little harder in the second location. Science class is over and the teacher asks the students to put away their iPads. Jack now understands the 4 stages in the water cycle and has the highest score in his class.
