BotMania (Give Kids the World)

This project is a team of six ETC students collaborating with Give Kids The World Village, a nonprofit resort in Kissimmee, Florida that provides cost-free vacations to children with life-threatening illnesses and their families. One of the many on-site attractions that Give Kids The World offers its guests is the WonderLab, a makerspace which aims to introduce kids to STEAM concepts in a fun and interactive way. In cooperation with WonderLab staff and volunteers, our team is designing and installing a new experience that utilizes one of their existing platforms. Using motion-tracking and a mixture of digital and physical components, we are creating a fun, interactive experience that encourages children to interact with the WonderLab's robot mascots Won, Mage and Bil, to promote STEAM concepts and enthusiasm for exploration.

My role on this project is co-producer and artist.
As an artist, I design the logo and poster for our team together with the other artist on the team. I also drew several user flow storyboards for more efficient presentations to our client and instructor. I created user interface in Adobe Illustrator, made animation in both Adobe After Effects and Unity. I also recorded and edited the demo video and project overview video for our experience.
For producing, the other producer and I split the work for project management, scheduling timelines, arranging meetings and playtests, taking notes, and also reaching out for outside resources. We use Notion to mark down important deadlines and milestones, and we also set up task tracking doc with Notion for team members to know clearly where they are at. Other than project management, I also contributed on designing the PowerPoint for presentations.
