Education

Educational content, curriculum design, and pedagogical documentation.

Planned Content

• Curriculum Framework — learning objectives mapped to game mechanics
• Music Education — how The Smithy teaches music theory through play
• Literacy & Numeracy — Wisp's teaching domains (reading, writing, mathematics)
• Assessment Methods — measuring learning outcomes within gameplay
• Age-Appropriate Design — designing for tweens (ages 8-12)

Design Principles

1. Education first — every game mechanic must serve a learning objective
2. Complement, don't replace — work alongside existing school curricula
3. Multiple learning styles — support visual, auditory, kinesthetic learners
4. Real-world transfer — skills learned in-game apply outside the game
