EmPOWERed Kids Educational Safety Program

Title

Getting kids to enjoy and have fun with an educational safety program through the use of intricate beautiful animations and a multitude of entertaining games that kids can play on a custom tablet, home computer, or on a digital device of their choice.

Scope

Children really enjoy interacting and being in charge of the information they receive. The same old methodology of talking to a child for 40 minutes straight without getting them to participate won’t keep a child engaged or entertained. Learning about gas and electrical safety is extremely important but keeping the child engaged is vital so they can learn, retain, and share that information with others.

Delivery

Popar’s custom gaming division revamped Consumers Energy’s EmPOWERed Kids gas and electric safety programs to include both a digital interactive app and an in-school tablet presentation program.

The system was developed to run on custom tablets that we had made specifically to be handed out in the classroom to run the software in a special “kids only mode.” The kids could only interact with the Consumers Energy program but if unlocked it was a fully functional android tablet that could access numerous other apps and be updated on the web. This multi-tiered program fulfills the educational needs of the children and delivers Consumers Energy’s safety programs to both the child and the consumers.
