Volunteer at Brainy Hacks Hackathon

Collaborated on a video game prototype to influence NPC decisions toward environmental outcomes. Built a multi-level game prototype (MIT App Inventor) where players select two social-media posts to influence NPCs; integrated the concept with a data-driven environmental theme (NASA carbon data).

Volunteer at Brainy Hacks Hackathon

Participated in a one-day hackathon focused on environmental impact. Collaborated with a team to prototype a video game concept using MIT App Inventor. The idea centers on influencing non-player characters (NPCs) to make better decisions that affect the environment. The project featured multiple levels (e.g., scenarios like throwing trash on a beach or fireworks on New Year’s Eve) and explored how player choices could be reflected through social posts to convey environmental outcomes. The experience emphasized teamwork, rapid prototyping, and communicating complex ideas clearly.
