Neuro
Neuro is a game kit that helps 7-9 year olds understand the function and value of their brain through hands-on play. It includes a booklet that helps familiarise kids with basic brain concepts like function and anatomy, and a game where they apply the ideas from the booklet through hands-on activities, discussion and collaborative play.
Role
Designer (Solo Project)
Goal
To empower young children to understand how their brains learn and change, helping them recognise their capacity to grow through effort and experience.
Audience
7-9 year old children, who begin to form beliefs about themselves and think more logically about the world.
Outcome
The design strategy focuses on translating abstract brain science concepts into interactive experiences. The game uses a question card and reward system to let teams of players build neural networks. The structure of the game reinforces the idea that skills are not fixed and can be developed through practice, encouraging children to care for their brain with a newfound sense of possibility.
