Created an immersive learning experience that bridges complex scientific knowledge with public engagement, using gameplay as the main tool for communication.
In September 2022
our team of four received a commission from BGl
hoping that we would provide a way
to help students learn plant grafting better.

Team Work
Role
Designed a participatory knowledge experience that
connects scientific content with public engagement through gameplayThe experience was tested and validated through a public exhibition in educational settings,
in collaboration with industry partners
It is necessary to study students,
but meanwhile, teachers’ pain points shouldn’t be ignored.
Here are some popular ways that students use to learn plant grafting.
MODE SELECTION
We chose games to solve the above problems, which allowed us to build a new world to make people understand biology again. Among them, the third-person perspective game could be a bridge to balance the five previous points.
Meanwhile,
I found three team members based on my needs.
Everyone had their specific strengths and helped complete the whole project.
Doing what we are good at reduces our time costs.
LEVEL DESIGN
lt will be a story of courage and adventure, with players taking missions through a dreamlike microworld, and the grafting process will be broken down and divided into three levels, with the first level being made first.
STORY TELLING
In order to improve the compatibility of grafts,
scientists have artificially created a strange type of cell
and injected it into the junction of two plants
in a graft experiment.
It plays a key role in this grafting experiment.
You will be the special little cell
and explore the microscopic world
in the various stages of plant grafting.
You will also complete tasks and remove obstacles
to promote the grafting process.
EXPERIENCE DESIGN
The game experience is divided into five parts, ranging from easy to hard.
I gave the concept to the illustrator combined with investigation and sketch, then l modeled and rendered according to her paintings.
A bestiary, where you can see your adventure synced and check characters you’ve met.
