SAN FRANCISCO, May 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Boutique educational
game developer ACE EdVenture Studio will see its first creation
ChemCaper - Petticles in Peril, a first-of-its-kind
Chemistry role playing game (RPG), featured at Google I/O 2015.
The annual Google I/O is arguably the most important event for
app developers looking to work with life-changing technologies, and
will be held from 28-29 May at the Moscone Center, San Francisco. The conference will see over
5,000 developers in attendance to showcase the latest in digital
technology and learn via hands-on workshops.
ChemCaper, an initiative conceptualized and driven
by the teachers from Sri Emas International School, is meant for
students aged 10 to 14 before they are formally introduced to
Chemistry as a subject.
ChemCaper was chosen as a Google I/O feature because its
combination of educational and entertainment value is set to
reinvent education, bringing the excitement of learning Year 7
Chemistry to students. Concepts such as covalent, ionic and
metallic bonds are encountered and learned through gameplay. The
Active Time Battle System will see kids battling various foes with
the help of their faithful Petticles, which are creatures formed
via chemical bonding. Learning comes full circle with each Petticle
demonstrating unique traits representing real life particles.
Additionally, students will learn how to separate compounds,
refine fluids, and sieve through precious metals in various mini
games which will introduce students to the kinds of Chemistry
apparatus used in laboratories.
"After working on ChemCaper for over two years, it's not
easy to put into words how excited we are with Google choosing to
feature us!" Founder and Group CEO of ACE EdVenture, Anne Tham said.
Live demos of ChemCaper will be held at both the Arcade
Lounge (2nd floor) and the Game Demo Area
(3rd Floor). ChemCaper will be available via
Android TV, a smart TV platform providing an interactive television
experience combining gaming and media streaming.
"Why Android? Why Android TV? We saw how quickly Android is
growing and this makes it the best platform to reach out to
millions, bringing to them an Education for the 21st
Century!" Anton Budiono,
ChemCaper's CPO and Producer said. Sundar Pichai, Google's Senior Vice President,
had remarked that over a billion Android devices were activated in
2014, making Android the most popular mobile platform.
ChemCaper - Petticles in Peril will be reinventing
education via the Google Play Store and other major mobile
platforms in September 2015, and will
be followed by games covering Biology, Physics, Mathematics, and
Additional Mathematics.
