Polyculture

Inspiration

In the 94 Calls to Action, many calls highlight the development of education for reconciliation curriculum. We identified two issues regarding this topic:

• Lack of awareness and appreciation of the Indigenous culture
• Not a lot of interactive and fun platforms to educate students on the indigenous culture

To target these two issues, we were inspired to create a program that helps with language/culture learning.

What it does

Scroller game where the player controls a fox to collect items that impact Indigenous life. The player must then answer a true/false question about indigenous life correctly within a set time limit when they hit an item to gain the most amount of points.

How we built it

• Collectively on pygame in Replit
• Created a mind map to plan what we would do
• Split up work, (research and coding)
• Designed background on Canva

Challenges we ran into

• Logical errors in the game
• Coming up with a project idea

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Incorporated the nature, history, belief, and language aspects of indigenous culture
• included many elements of indigenous culture, ex. indigenous art
• Making a working game in the end

What we learned

• gained collaboration skills
• time management

What's next for Polyculture

• Expanding the question bank
• Incorporating more materials
• Improving the graphics of the game
