Tsunamis are a serious natural hazard in coastal areas, and the Earth Girl 2 App provides an environment for proactive learning. Players can explore a variety of scenarios including small fishing villages, office high-rise areas, coastal resorts and industrial parks to name a few.

Proactive learning means that players can explore, think and experiment outside of the traditional lecture setting. This makes Earth Girl 2 the perfect companion for informal learning about tsunami disaster management and preparedness.

We conducted extensive usability and feedback sessions and also partnered with public schools in Banda Aceh and Padang, Indonesia. We also worked with schools in Singapore including Chatsworth International, DPS International, Geylang Methodist Primary, Presbyterian High School and the Singapore American School. We thank students, teachers, and administrators. Your feedback and suggestions were invaluable to improve the game!

Presenting the game to students in Padang, West Sumatra, along with Patra Rina Dewi,
our partner from the Kogami community organization.

These girls are interested by the game since Padang is a potential site
for a tsunami in the next few decades.
