“Saving the Earth”
About this Project:
My project addresses the challenges of global warming and the effects of climate change. This is because my project incorporates questions that provide the user to input the number of items that they would like to pick up, hence, “how many trash items do you want to pick up” being asked towards the user. In addition, this allows the user to associate the game with cleaning, and recycling for a better, cleaner earth environment.
My design process for this game was a bit difficult as the graphic itself took time. I came up with my idea by taking some time outside to clean my backyard, and decided that people could do this via a game that could be coded. My project works but allowing the user to type the number of trash items that they would like to pick up to recycle. After that, the user is given a graphic as a “Reward” for participation in the game.

Feedback from the Judges:
I would encourage you to build on these concepts to draw a more defined connection between the global challenge and individual actions. Helping answer questions like "Why is cleaning up trash important?" or "What are ways to reuse or recycle trash?" can take the concept even further and make it more powerful.
I particularly enjoyed the gold star I received at the end of my interaction with the program. If I could print it out and tape it to my refrigerator I might have done that.
It would be exciting to see some statistics included. Perhaps if the user picks up X pieces of trash, the game can tell them how that directly impacts global warming – i.e. “For every aluminum can collected and recycled enough energy is saved to run your television for three hours!”
