2. The Problem
• Target: Kids
• Learn how infectious
diseases spread
• Get sick through
indirect contact with
originator

3. Solution
• Simulation using devices with iBeacons
• Students bump/“infect” each other’s
devices
• End game statistics

4. Mockups

5. Platform
• iBeacons (Bluetooth
4+ devices)
• Initially iOS
• Collabrify

6. MVP
• Bump algorithm
• Collabrification for device communication
• Infected/Not-infected indicator
• View Interactions

7. Hypothesis
• Fun way to learn about diseases
• Teach kids of the importance of hygiene
• Encourage kids to participate and interact
• Preparation for flu outbreaks
