Grove Quest​

Today was a day of iteration and refinement. Based on the valuable feedback from our clients and the insights we gleaned from our visit to Fossil Grove, we discussed and proceeded to draw another iteration of our paper prototype. We simplified the tasks at each station and opted for simpler puzzles, such as jigsaw or sliding puzzles, instead of word matches.

From our paper prototype, we identified the better designs and proceeded to create a high-fidelity prototype using Figma. We also worked on crafting better and simpler questions that are not overly information-heavy and can be easily answered by the students using the resources available at Fossil Grove.

We have emailed our clients in conjunction with Team A, updating them about our current progress on the puzzles and trivia questions. Moving forward, we plan to finalize the designs on Figma and request feedback from the client.

Front-end​

Our front-end team began work on creating a static website to showcase our project's journey and accomplishments. We chose Docusaurus as our platform due to its robust documentation capabilities and integrated blog feature. As a fun coincidence, Docusaurus' dinosaur-themed logo aligns with the theme of our project, despite Fossil Grove predating the dinosaur era.

Inspired by our trip to Fossil Grove, we opted for a lush green color scheme for the website. This color choice mirrors the verdant scenery of Fossil Grove and sets a vibrant and welcoming tone for our future website visitors.

Our goal is to make our website both accessible for quick browsing and comprehensive for those seeking in-depth understanding. The site will feature a reflection page detailing our project journey and a "proud" page where we highlight why we take pride in our work.

Looking ahead, we plan to refine our website's UI/UX, work on the ideation and proud pages, and incorporate project-related multimedia content to enhance website engagement. Our hope is to create a visually appealing website that truly encapsulates the progress of our project!

Today was an exciting day! We finally met with David from Fossil Grove and Boyd from Scotstoun Primary. It was a highly productive session, and we gleaned many insights from our interactions.

Project​

We embarked on a guided tour at Fossil Grove, visiting mainly three locations: the main museum, the back of the museum, and the quarry.

During the tour, we learned many details that significantly influence our project. We were informed that the field trips usually involve a group of 30 students divided into smaller groups of 6-7, each supervised by a teacher. Each student has their own iPad device, which opens up many possibilities for our project.

We identified four main areas of focus (stations): the main museum, back of museum, front area, and quarry. To ensure a fair and engaging experience, it was suggested that we refrain from using a leaderboard or points system and instead reward students based on completion of tasks.

We learned that the educational focus includes geography, history, and biology, providing a rich blend of learning opportunities for the students.

Constraints identified include the lack of WiFi connection at the venue and the need to cater to students with additional support needs. The tours are self-guided, meaning the students will explore independently.

We presented our current idea to the clients, who received it very positively. They offered suggestions on integrating their existing physical activities with our new digital activities.

Our clients requested our decision on several aspects such as the time to be spent at each station, the challenges for each station, and ways to enhance engagement for the students.

Moving forward, our team plans to continue iterating our paper prototypes for the challenges based on what we learned today.

Today we received feedback from our client about our initial collaboration idea. They've suggested we provide more detailed information regarding our "Amazing Race" concept.

In response, we convened a meeting to discuss our progress, create an implementation plan, and layout the framework for our pitch video.

Our frontend team has been researching Three.js, a JavaScript library that enables us to create and display 3D graphics. Meanwhile, our gamemasters have been brainstorming a variety of games and puzzles to be included in the "Amazing Race". We're still planning the overall flow and refining our pitch.

For the backend, we've decided to share a single database (Firebase) with Team A. This will ensure a seamless flow of state and information between the teams. By tonight, we will decide on whether to use Node.js or Golang for our server.
