WeroGame is offering a paid, 3 month internship project to develop mobile research, UX and some UI for WeroGame (with Toronto-based company WeroCreative) for an undergraduate or graduate student with the following skills:

• Good technical and design research and writing skills
• Knowledgeable and skilled in PHP and preferably has some CakePHP experience
• Familiar with LAMP setup
• Familiar with Ubuntu servers

Project Description:

Currently WeroGame has been designed to deliver content into the classroom to facilitate collaborative learning.  It allows teachers to manage their students as groups of users, and deliver them educational content based on their collective progress through a variety of learning challenges. For teachers, it allows a level of control and engagement with students, where previously sitting kids behind the computer was a recipe for chaos. WeroGame’s current content package is called Rock Mars, and uses flash games, video content related to Discovery Channel’s Race To Mars television series, and a graphic novel component to teach science, math, social sciences, and digital media literacy. For this stage of the project we expect to develop a fully functioning, mobile-enabled locative content delivery system.
