Developer Comments

We believe that all the problems that we face today can be solved by team effort, which needs a collaborative platform as its base. Our project is both a classroom tool, and an outside classroom activity. Collaboration is as ubiquitous as the formal or informal learning environment permits. We are proposing a new kind of an educational solution, an “expanded school” which grows well beyond the walls of the classroom. And last but not least this collaboration ensures a dialogue among generations, nations and cultures. The connectivity will be every language, will be spoken in the Food Force II project.

Comprised of 8 mini-games or “missions”, the game takes young players from an initial crisis assessment through to delivery and distribution of food aid, with each sequential mission addressing a particular aspect of this challenging process.


History of Development

Food Force II activity beta-version was released on May 8, 2009 with great success (http://blog.laptop.org/2009/05/08/food-force-2-makes-waves/). The activity was forked into different separate projects on June 23. One will be maintained and developed under the aegis of SEETA (http://seeta.in/j/products-and-services/food-force-ii.html). And, the other would be developed and maintained by Mohit Taneja and Deepank Gupta, who have been the founding developers of this learning activity, and were recommended to Walter Bender by Manusheel Gupta to work on this project with him in 2008.
