Challenge Summary
The Brain Architecture Game is currently played as a tabletop game experience that builds understanding of the powerful role of experiences on early brain development – what promotes it, what derails it, with what consequences for society.
We’ve digitized the elements of the game so that it can be played ?as an app, but what we need now are designs for the web-based Moderator and Admin portal. The portal will allow an Admin to manage the app’s settings, manage Moderators’ permissions and activities, upload and manage game materials, and will allow the Moderator to set up sessions for each game played, view the progress of the teams, interact with them during game play, and view the details of all the past sessions.

Background Information:
The Brain Architecture Game is currently played as a tabletop game experience that builds understanding of the powerful role of experiences on early brain development – what promotes it, what derails it, with what consequences for society. It can be played in small workshops, conferences, and large events, with as few as 8, or as many as 300 participants.
We’ve digitized the elements of the game so that it can be played ���as an Android app (note: Android app design is NOT part of this challenge). This challenge focuses on the Admin and Moderator web portals used to setup and manage gameplay. The portals will allow the Admin to manage the app’s settings, manage Moderators’ permissions and activities, upload and manage game materials, and allow the Moderator to set up sessions for each game played, view the progress of the teams, interact with them during game play, and view the details of all the past sessions.
