Challange
Most STEM learning tools teach at people instead of engaging them.
Technical vocabulary is dry by nature — and passive exposure to it rarely sticks, especially for students who haven't yet found their way into engineering.
Goal
The goal wasn't just a game — it was a community product with measurable learning outcomes.
Build a daily word game platform that makes STEM terminology engaging and repeatable, while serving as a community hub for the Royal Engineers robotics team and its supporters.
Solution
Gamification only works when the mechanics are honest — streaks, leaderboards, and daily challenges that actually reward understanding.
Built in React and TypeScript with a focus on usability across age groups. Designed scalable game logic, user progression systems, real-time scoring, and a responsive interface that works equally well on mobile and desktop.
