Habitats

Habitats is a game that helps kids learn about the ocean levels and the types of animals that live on each level. The concept can be adapted, so kids can learn about other ecosystems (rainforest, desert, etc).

Each game set includes the following:

1. A collection of animals, each animal is equipped with an RFID tag and a magnet.
2. An animal & habitat identifier, which is wired with an Arduino and an RFID sensor / shield.
3. A stacked habitat, a modular topography that can be disassembled and assembled by stacking layers.

The user takes an animal, uses the identifier to discover the animal’s name and habitat, and places it in the stacked habitat.
