How the Game Works:

Think of your Superpower!

Ensure your device is compatible with Zoom’s virtual background feature.

Attack strategically—take a screenshot when another player’s crystal is exposed.
Earn Victory Points (VPs) by completing missions and keeping your space clean.

Other Details

Learning Needs

Usually enjoyed by neurodivergent kids. But NOT especially designed for them. I'm a really patient facilitator, open and acceptant to the uniqueness of each kid, If needed 1-on-1 session available.

Parental Guidance

During this class, children will move around, collect, and photograph objects while trying to avoid other players taking screenshots of their unprotected crystals. To protect their device, it is recommended to use a ⚠️DROP-PROOF CASE AND A WRIST STRAP⚠️. At the very least, wrap your device with clear tape and attach it to your wrist, leaving about 15 cm (6 inches) of space so you can use it comfortably. Each parent is responsible for helping their child choose a suitable space for the activity and setting clear boundaries on where they can move during the treasure hunt (e.g., the backyard, front yard, kitchen, living room, or even near the trash). The larger the space, the more enriching the experience. The use of recycled materials as learning tools is encouraged. 📢 Important Rule: Children must leave their learning space cleaner and more organized than they found it. Since this is difficult to verify online, please inform the facilitator, Álvaro, if this is not followed so he can reinforce this habit in class. Optional Role: The Guardian Spirit You can choose to take on this role as a wise guardian of order and harmony. As the Spirit, you can capture (with your camera), and send them to the facilitator, even after class, both disasters and good actions from your child—both will have effects within the game!

Pre-Requisites

Headset highly recommended (Microphone + earphone). Being in noisy places will be common, especially if share your learning space with others. This will improve our communication.

Supply List

We have a scavenge hunt game mechanic: our first option is to reuse, then to recycle, if for any reason, kids can not find the needed common objects for the projects, they will have a time between classes to gather those, we will notify parents if that's the case.

For example: A simple DC electric motor (DIY project) will require:
 🔧  magnet
 🔧  copper cable
 🔧  battery. 
Commonly found in broken home devices

6 files available upon enrollment
