Thesis project: Operation Robo
Operation Robo immerses young students in an interactive digital learning experience designed to help them understand the logic of programming. The objective of this project was:
To understand how programming breaks down complex problems into a series of small, digestible pieces
To use creative learning techniques to promote problem-solving skills and logical organization
To demonstrate how art in STEM* can be used to simplify complex STEM subjects.
The arts are about using creativity and imagination to boost the development of STEM in problem-solving, invention, and comprehension. Hopefully, Operation ROBO will be one of many interactive learning initiatives designed to help young people improve their problem-solving skills.

This is the design for the teleportation device that Robo has to put back together.
This is what it looks like when a part of the teleporter gets collected.
This is the coded language I made to help students understand how coding works. I broke it down by showing how the coded language is the ingredients to a “delicious meal” which is the output.
