Stripy the little Watertower
Water you looking at?
Day 1
We’ve created a character called Stripy. He’s a watertower in Manhattan that travels from one neighborhood to another.
We want to create an interactive story/game for children (or older target groups) that is played/told through the GPS system on mobile phones. Certain locations in Manhattan with interesting looking watertowers are pinpointed and when the player enters a neighborhood he or she get’s a signal and is able to proceed with the story.
Day 3
Our tagetgroup is 8-10 years of age and living in Manhattan.
Goal is to get the kids educated on the phenomenon of the watertower and the drinkwater they carry.
We like to give kids the awareness of how important water is in their lives
In animated and playful ways we want to let them enter the fantasyworld we created around the watertowers in NYC and also let them learn about the diversity of the areas in NYC, the social and cultural differences are integrated in our water tower characters we created as comic figures.
The idea is that the kids have to find the real watertowers on the rooftops in Manthattan we based our karakters on.
Today we will learn more about "Mobile phones used in a creative and playful way"
