Gamifying quantum physics
We collaborated with the University of Southern Denmark to make STEM education accessible and exciting with a blend of learning, physical activity, and storytelling. Quantum Kate transforms the complexity of quantum physics into an engaging, kid-friendly experience. Combining augmented reality and gamification, this initiative features an interactive puzzle app that educates young users about concepts like quarks and particles.
Making physics relevant and accessible
The University of Southern Denmark sought a way to make physics accessible and relevant to young people. The challenge lay in blending science with accessible, playful design while maintaining educational value and engagement.
Integrating AR and storytelling
Enter Quantum Kate: An animated teenage YouTuber, designed to reach young audiences. She explains subjects such as quantum chromodynamics while adding a few clothing dilemmas to the conversation.
We designed an AR-based puzzle game starring Quantum Kate, allowing users to explore virtual environments, solve interactive puzzles, and learn through hands-on challenges. The game is an extension of a virtual universe that was already successful in stimulating interest in science, technology, engineering, and math. We added physical exercise to the educational experience, as keeping the body can increase concentration and enhance learning.
