Keeping Elephants Out of Sewers!




I developed an educational game about sewer awareness to help prevent overflows. Using the freely available Google Forms to develop a conditional logic game, as well as animations and images from a previous Public Service Announcement, I created a cost-effective resource for the Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority (ABCWUA). 


Visit the ABCWUA's page here to play the game and read about the development and purpose of the game in Goals and Games: Keeping Elephants out of Sewers in Water, Environment, & Technology magazine


After developing the game, I conducted usability testing with children ranging in age from 5 to 17. Based on feedback from children and parents, I made changes to the game to increase "gameness," clarity, and goal-setting.
