There is an overwhelmingly large gap between men and women in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. Research shows that girls' interest in math and science drops dramatically between the ages of 10 and 14. We were challenged to create an app that keeps girls interested in the STEM subjects as they grow.

The goal of the game is for the player to make their way from one end of the lab to the other to save it from destruction. While crossing the lab, they run into all sorts of trouble requiring them to solve problems through engineering to continue crossing. The user must use tools and parts to create machines.
