Welcome to our website! Here you can find games that teach you about how we use energy and resources in many ways.
We intend to teach you how you could use less energy to make less of an impact on the environment.
Our team created this game to find a solution for a global problem.
We hope our contribution might help the world, even if a bit.
I´m Sartaj Singh, a seventeen-year-old Programming student … I am new in Portugal. I came here last year in summer. I am learning Portuguese. This language is difficult, but I am trying my best to learn in short time. My teachers and friends are also help me a lot to learn it early. And I know by their help and by my passion to learn it I definitely learn it.
I’m Ricardo Oliveira, also a Programming student... I’m 16. I love messing with old computers and making them do stuff they weren’t intended for. I will try to be as responsible as I can. I will do my best to meet the tasks’ deadlines. I play some games like Roblox and Minesweeper at home because it’s just fun. I communicate with people on Discord and in games. Maybe I’ll be programming some stuff related to the management of the systems and some hobbies in ten years.
The app “PowerSaviors” will be using Unity3D as its game engine, we might use assets from the Unity Asset store, or some designers might help us. It’s intended for mobile users, but we might put up a PC version if we feel like it. We might adjust a lot of stuff to make it run good on some weak devices if we can. At this time of writing, we have learned some things about how Unity Engine works and we expect to learn more.
- Release online educational games that teach good practices on saving energy.
- Put out interactive materials for the awareness of environmental questions.
- Facilitate the access of teaching materials for schools and communities.
- Promote the use of tech as a sustainable learning tool.
- Create a global community of users who are committed to energy savings.
- Develop relevant partnerships.
- To teach kids who might play the game to know things like how much power their appliances might be using, what uses less power, how enabling energy saving mode won’t affect too much of your normal flow until they specifically push it in some way.
We hope that the things we put into the game will certainly help that objective.
The “PowerSaviors” game will require the user to build a real-life hand-crank charger to connect to the game.
The game will feature the player who is stuck in the forest, he has a phone but no charge in the battery. He will walk around the forest to find parts to make his own hand-crank phone charger, held by animals who will not give those parts to the player until he answers some questions correctly.
When the player manages to build his own hand-crank phone charger, he will connect the cable from the charger to his phone and will hand-crank for a certain time, until it’s enough to call someone on the phone to help him out of the forest.
The project has potential to establish partners within the municipality, schools, universities and labs to amplify the impact and the educational reach. Tech companies can offer tech support, while environmental NGOs and public institutions can help in the disclosure and the alignment with the SDG. Private companies, like the ones in the energy sector, can work as sponsors and EdTech startups can contribute to the innovation.
