Commissioner: Amsterdam Rainproof

Description

The risk of local floodings due to heavy rains is increasing in the Netherlands. How can we encourage and engage citizens to take action? Together with Amsterdam Rainproof, an Amsterdam based collective for sustainable water management, we will design solutions and gain awareness for this issue.

Almost in our last sprint!

During last 3 weeks, we have been analysing our route and what we want to deliver in June to our partner Amsterdam Rainproof. First of all, we decided that this project will be focused just on one product: a game!

Our programmer and designer are doing a great job developing this product, that will contain a quiz about climate change, Amsterdam Rainproof and different kind of rainproofing measures. In this way, the players will have a good time learning how to protect their houses. At the same time, there are DIY cards for rainproofing your house, that can also offer services and could function like vouchers for discounts on rainproofing measures.

This is how our game is going to look like

Therefore, if you are a small (or a big) company and want to reach new customers, and help people who want to be more rainproof, just let us know and we will contact you to explain how!  

As you can see, there are many ways of making this possible for all of us, even you are a private, small shop or a big company. Thus, we will upload more news in the following weeks, because our last sprint will be focused on testing the game at Fab City and closing the deals we need to make in order to make our product viable.

Join us next Friday at Amsterdam Rainproof container at Fab City and try our game!
