Game Design with Purpose

In an inspiring blend of creativity, collaboration, and environmental awareness, our MY1 learners stepped into the Makerspace to design and build their own educational board games. Their mission: to deepen understanding of SDG 14: Life Below Water and SDG 15: Life on Land.

Through hands-on creation, students explored real-world environmental challenges—pollution, biodiversity loss, conservation efforts—and transformed these ideas into interactive, imaginative games. Every element, from rules to artwork to gameplay strategy, was crafted to spark conversation and encourage players to think critically about protecting our ecosystems.

What emerged were not just board games, but thoughtful learning tools that reflect how creativity can amplify awareness and make complex global issues accessible.

By designing with purpose, our learners demonstrated that play can be powerful—and that young minds can lead the way in advocating for a sustainable future.
