The Project

EcoBuild is a game application developed for Ontdekfabriek, designed for tablets and mobile devices. Ontdekfabriek provides hands-on workshops that combine creativity, technology, and education for children and families.

The goal was to create an engaging experience that teaches teenagers about sustainable building. Players form a team, select a location, and design a building based on environmental conditions. The final score is calculated based on material choices, transportation impact, and CO₂ emissions, with results shown on a leaderboard.

Technical

I developed the frontend using Flutter, focusing on performance and smooth interaction across mobile devices. The system includes dynamic game flows, modular building components, and real-time score calculation. I am currently expanding the project by implementing 3D modular elements.

The Research

Our research showed that users in this age group prefer minimal interfaces, clear challenges, and visually engaging experiences.

This influenced the structure of the game, focusing on simplified screens, guided interactions, and a balance between learning and gameplay.

Design

Working within an existing brand identity, I designed a clean and intuitive interface tailored to the target audience.

The focus was on clarity, ease of navigation, and engaging visuals, ensuring the experience remains accessible while maintaining a playful and interactive feel.
