🎨💧 Water Challenge: A STEAM & Arts-Based Game 🌊🚿

💡 Concept:

Students (16 years old) become “Water Artists”, using creative expression to raise awareness about the importance of clean, accessible, and sustainable water. Through posters, performance, sculpture, and digital storytelling, students turn science into visual and emotional messages that inspire action.

This game blends artistic talent with environmental responsibility, making water not just a resource—but a story.
