Description Participated in the development of an educational interactive game focused on microorganisms, created in partnership with MCN and Fundação Araucária at the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR). The project aimed to transform microbiology concepts into an accessible, engaging, and intuitive learning experience for a wide audience. The game was designed to be used with an interactive projector that supports physical touch, allowing players to interact directly with the projected content without the need for additional controllers. This technology enabled a more immersive and inclusive experience, especially in educational and exhibition environments. Throughout the project, I contributed to game design, interaction design, and sound design, helping to shape gameplay mechanics, audiovisual feedback, and overall user experience. Special attention was given to clarity, accessibility, and engagement, ensuring that complex scientific information could be understood through play. This experience strengthened my skills in interdisciplinary collaboration, interactive technologies, and the development of educational games that combine science, creativity, and technology.
