FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
The Station is a phone app that allows players to explore the world around them through educational quests. It links the virtual gameplay on your phone to real world locations and discovery via GPS.
Not a problem! We have extra devices that partners can borrow both for designing quests and player use.
Currently, we are developing quests with partners such as Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA), Maine Mineral & Gem Museum (MMGM), and Great Salt Bay Community School (GSB). As we continue to onboard more educational partners our availability to host events and workshops will grow, too.
We often rely on signs, pamphlets, and people to deliver the content or message of our organization. But these methods take a lot of time and resources and are often difficult to amend. Due to the virtual abilities of this app, we can help you enhance your user experience. In the virtual space signs can be moved and edited instantly, there is no paper waste because you won’t have to reprint after making an adjustment, and you won’t have to rely on having someone available to deliver a class or workshop. With The Station you will now be able to more easily communicate your work.
