LAPC

Inspiration

I was always concerned about climate change, as it is highly likely it would affect me in the near future. However, I was galvanized to start this project because of the latest IPCC report, which, confirmed the ruinous impact that humans have on the climate. The report states that unless there are "immediate, rapid and large-scale reductions in greenhouse gas emissions", the world would see permanent warming of 1.5ºc above the preindustrial levels. Given that the 2ºc above preindustrial levels of warming have been commonly cited by scientists as extremely perilous, it is essential that humanity takes action now to prevent further warming. To help further this goal, I have decided to create this project to spread awareness among children my age to commit to reducing further environmental damage.

What it does

The game educates people about recycling plastic waste and the importance of spreading climate awareness among people.

How we built it

Before I started this project, I already had knowledge of beginner programming skills, such as Scratch. Then, I learned how to draw pixel art characters using Youtube tutorials.

Challenges we ran into

One of the greatest challenges I confronted in this project was learning to draw pixel art characters.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

This is my first competition and the fact that as a kid, I am able to create a viable project, is an extraordinary accomplishment.

What we learned

I learned to draw pixel art characters, which, I hope to use this knowledge to help my community and the world. Additionally, while researching about the project, I learned the precarious state the world is at, and that we should take immediate action.

What's next for LAPC

I would share my project with my school and my community, I hope to educate my classmates and my neighbors about climate action.
