    Description

    Project Overview:

    We are embarking on an exciting project to create simple, engaging web games for our medical website for kids. This initiative is part of the MEDKids platform, designed to teach children about the anatomy of the body, its various parts, and the roles involved in the medical field-such as doctor, nurse, or hospital administrator. With most existing resources targeting teenagers through text-heavy content, our project aims to captivate kids aged 4-10 with fun, interactive games that inspire early career exploration.

    Responsibilities:

    • Develop creative game concepts that effectively communicate medical themes in a kid-friendly manner.
    • Create simple web games that are visually appealing and engaging, tailored for a young audience.
    • Work with provided topics and educational material, ensuring that each game aligns with our learning objectives.
    • Partner with a small team of designers, artists, and animators, reporting to a team lead for guidance and feedback.
    • Submit your designs for review, incorporate feedback, and refine your work to meet the project’s standards.

    Ideal Candidate:

    • Creativity: Innovative thinker with a passion for game design and educational content.
    • Experience: Prior experience in designing simple web games or interactive media for children is a plus.
    • Collaboration: Strong teamwork and communication skills to effectively work with a multi-disciplinary team.
    • Detail-Oriented: Ability to balance creativity with clear, accessible educational messaging.

    Project Details:

    • Target Audience: Kids aged 4-10
    • Team Composition: You’ll work closely with a small team of designers, artists, and animators, with additional team members joining soon.
    • Project Status: The app is not yet live on the internet.
    • Deadline: The project is expected to be completed within the next 90 days.
