A canal cleaning game designed to educate the citizen in Paris to build a more close relationship with the canal in a playful way.
The project is initiated during the time I joined a week-long hackathon in Paris. The theme is education about the canal. We found that most people live in Paris think the river is not clean and it's just mainly for transportation. Actually we think our river has much more meaning to us. So we came up with an idea of "Water Playground" which people start to build more close relationship with their river through play. To build something to start the conversation with public, we decided to build a prototype addressing the problem of "Collect solid waste from canal in a playful way".
