Description
The Boating Safety Game is an educational, kiosk-based touchscreen game created for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Carters Lake Visitor Center. It is designed to improve the knowledge and engagement of boating safety concepts for visitors, particularly for students and youth. The project was developed using multiple game scenarios meant to reinforce safe boating practices through tutorial scenes, top down navigation, life jacket and required item selection tasks, and player motivation through quizzes, feedback, scores, and a star ranking system. The game’s design emphasizes accessibility and retention through simple touchscreen interaction, guided instruction, and repeated feedback on player choices. Together, these elements demonstrate a structured and engaging approach to teaching core boating safety concepts in a format aligned with the educational and operational needs of the visitor center.
