Product Research & Graphic Design Specialist
GeoRockers (https://georockers.nl/) is an exciting educational game for children to learn geography through play and movement. Children will be able to learn about different geographical locations of capital and major cities, as well as important geographical features and landmarks with GeoRockers.
The GeoRockers game consists of the geography playmat and the app. The geography playmat displays the map, while the app provides a digital spinner to tell players where to place their hand or foot on the geography playmat. The more anyone plays the GeoRockers game, the more they would move and be on their way to becoming a geography expert!
