The Isolation Solution

Social distancing policies enacted the world over during the COVID-19 pandemic have left many people socially isolated. Your challenge is to develop innovative solutions to combat social isolation.

Improve yourself during quarantine

Summary

Have you been in quarantine for 3 months? Are your children tired of staying home? You don't have enough time to deal with them after working online? The solution for you and your child has come! Improve yourself during quarantine is a game for children to resume their social life from the place of isolation, home. They can communicate with friends, engage in physical activity, and improve their mental capacity. Also, you have full access to your child's results and you are always close to him.

How We Addressed This Challenge

Handling work and kids during COVID-19 isolation

Working and supervising children during a pandemic has the potential to create stress and family conflict.

With school districts across the country shutting down for weeks or months, many parents are finding themselves working from home while parenting.

The combination of working and supervising children during a pandemic has the potential to create stress and family conflict. Experts say that the best route forward is to maintain some semblance of the structure while allowing that this is an unprecedented situation.

"I would say to parents, do your best and cut yourself some slack as well, because it is not really possible for parents to suddenly be able to juggle everything, to be 100% present, to oversee all their children's homeschooling with complete efficiency and also to do their job," said Eli Lebowitz, a clinical psychologist at the Yale School of Medicine who treats child anxiety.

Based on this problem, we thought of creating a game where children can perform physical activity, solve puzzles, and riddles. The results the child gets in the game can be accessed by the parent and it is our platform that helps them take care of their children.

Children can also collaborate with their friends by asking each other for help through game chat. In this way, they perform their activities while being safe from the risk of the virus.

Our main goal is that children do not have problems due to isolation, as today's communication opportunities allow us, children, to realize all their games, physical and mental.

How We Developed This Project

We choose this field because mental health seems to us a topic that we can provide a solution for a certain age group. We will implement this project in the form of a computer game, for Desktop, through the C # language. In this way, we can later adapt it through Xamarin for mobile platforms.

Logically, the game will develop children's mental capacity, practicing them with puzzles and riddles. They will also develop physical activities by competing with each other. These exercises will be an incremental way for children to develop mental capacity and be engaged.
