Title: Fun Facts U Need to Know

 

Concept Overview  : 

‘Fun Facts U Need To Know’ is an online learning game for kids from Pre-K to Elementary school. The system will randomly provide a question or scene to the players, which requires creativity and critical thinking skills. I aim to provide a fun learning environment for the kids to encourage them to think outside the box and learn about some helpful knowledge that may not be taught at school. For instance, on what occasion should we call 911? What do I need to do when there is an emergency? And Why? This game is designed for kids and parents to enjoy family time while learning new skills.
