[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.

Cardania Educational Game is a board game that uses traditional elements such as dice, an hourglass, a board and puzzle cards, and can be played in teams or individually. The objective is to overcome puzzles and certain activities in order to simulate the operation of the blockchain, and more!.

It’s Educational Board Game with dynamic difficulty where participants draw cards from different decks in order to advance through the board in the fastest way possible, all while earning rewards as they progress and affecting the board mechanics by means of “Smart Contracts”

If you want to know more details of the game mechanics, look at the attached file called “game mechanics”.

But the proposed solution is not limited to the creation of the board game, this proposal extends to bringing events designed to teach basic blockchain concepts to 200 Colleges / Technical Institutes in Ecuador in the span of a year.

If you want to know more details of the events designed to teach basic blockchain concepts, see the attached file called “mechanics of the game”.

[IMPACT] Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.

I believe one of the main objectives of the Challenge is to onboard new members into the world of blockchain and Cardano; this game will do exactly that! And not just technical people, it’s aimed to get everyone educated about the technology in a fun manner

  • Number of players: + 6000 players.

  • Number of wallets created: + 800 wallets.

  • Colleges/institutes introduced to blockchain technology: 200

    [IMPACT] What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?

Risk:

Colleges / Technical Institutes cancel or suspend events.

Strategy:

I have information on approximately 1,000 educational centers in Ecuador, in such a way that the school to visit can be reconsidered.

Risk:

Difficulty in mobilization and access.

Strategy:

A team of 4 facilitators is formed that are geographically distributed in Ecuador.

[FEASIBILITY] Please provide a detailed plan, including timeline and key milestones for delivering your proposal.

1.- Manufacture of 200 board games

Week 1: Improvement to the card and board design.

Week 1: Packaging Design.

Week 2-3: Create 200 board games.

2.- Events to teach basic concepts of blockchain and distribution of 200 games in 200 schools and institutes in the country.

    [FEASIBILITY] If you are funded, will you return to Catalyst in a later round for further funding? Please explain why / why not.

If the impact obtained for the Cardano and Catalys community is good, I would seek to create more games to reach other regions of Latam. and also translate into other languages.

[AUDITABILITY] Please describe what you will measure to track your project’s progress, and how will you measure these?

The progress and development of the project are measured in compliance with the following criteria:

  • Number of board games delivered to schools / technical institutes after the learning session.

  • Number of players participating in the game.

  • Number of wallets created

    [AUDITABILITY] What does success for this project look like?

The indicators to know the success of the project are:

1.- Delivery of 200 board games in 200 schools / educational institutes after a learning session.

2.- Participation of at least 6000 people in the game.

3.- Creation of at least 800 wallets.

[AUDITABILITY] Please provide information on whether this proposal is a continuation of a previously funded project in Catalyst or an entirely new one.

it’s a new idea.
