VizLand

Description

VizLand is an educational game designed for kids aged 11 to 13, focused on building visualization literacy through fun, interactive jugabilidad. Players create vibrant landscapes by placing terrain tiles like forests and grasslands, matching their distribution to data shown in charts such as bar or pie graphs. As levels progress, challenges increase—visualizations become more complex, some tile placements are restricted, and the data display may be hidden, requiring players to rely on memory and reasoning. Developed as part of a research project at Masaryk University, VizLand tests innovative ways to teach data interpretation skills. The game was tested in a real classroom setting with 38 students, showing promising results in engaging young learners with data visualization concepts.
