Progetto S
Mobile edutainment science game
Young learners recreate a milestone in wireless communication through Progetto S's hands-on historical adventure.
The objective
The Marconi App Contest called for a mobile experience connecting historical science with active learning.
The experience
Players build a reception tower, launch a kite transmitter, and compose a telegraph signal inspired by Guglielmo Marconi's early wireless experiment.
Their choices determine how far the letter S travels.
Early-1900s engravings inspire the art, while a light, ironic tone makes the history approachable.
The results
Progetto S won first prize at the Marconi App Contest.
It gave young players an active role in a founding moment of radio.
