🎨🏠 Daily Life Challenge: A STEAM & Arts-Based Game 🌍🧼

💡 Concept:

Students (16 years old) become “Everyday Life Artists”, using visual art, music, storytelling, and design to spotlight sustainability in daily routines. They explore how creative expression can reveal the environmental and health impact of ordinary choices—like eating, cleaning, commuting, and shopping—and inspire positive change.

This game blends creativity with real-life science, turning daily behavior into artistic inspiration for sustainability.
