The WPI Science Year IQP intends to contribute to efforts to revitalize interest in science among students ages 10 to 19 by capturing their attention and interest with interactive web-based computer games focusing on the popular themes of sports and inventions. In developing these games, the project team researched student interest in science and web-based games, the UK national curriculum, and educational game design and production. Final deliverables include comprehensive game design documents, detailed storyboards and two Flash-based Internet games.
