Inspiration

Patriarchy, by definition, disenfranchises women and non-men. Financial independence is a way to take back some of that power. But how do we succeed in a field lined with so many obstacles?

What it does

A user can play the game and navigate the recruitment and hiring process through the character, Rhae.

How we built it

  • Discussed potential user stories
  • Researched issues that women face in the workplace
  • Designed a graphic story for interview process
  • Used HTML, CSS & Javascript to create interactive game for navigating job entry

Challenges we ran into

  • Boiling down issues to create one storyline
  • Finding actual solutions to interview obstacles
  • Optimizing the logic for conditional rendering of HTML elements

What we learned

  • We learned about how to navigate the issues we included in the game.
  • Making something simple that works is a great start!
  • Game development is fun!
  • 8-bit graphic design is a whole new world!

What's next for Choose Your Win

  • Exploring ways to optimize logic and utilize libraries and frameworks that make it simpler to build an interactive game
  • Scaling the framework
  • Expanding the current story
  • Adding new stories
