The design challenge will be about Food Heroes, motivating kids in China to eat healthily and sustainably. The Octalysis Group has already designed an engaging 7 Week Kindergarten program to engage the kids.
However, Food Heroes needs to figure out how to engage and train the teachers to run the 7 Week Program. They also need to create a follow-on online subscription box to make sure the kids are still eating healthily and engaged with the brand for the next 12 months.
Your job as a Octalysis Gamification Designer is to either (1) Help them create a gamified training program for the teachers, or (2) Design the 12 Month Subscription Box that the parents will order for their kids and play as a family.
