##Project Design ###Curriculum

The game content is based on SEL Core Competencies (Self-awareness, Self- management, Social awareness, Relationship skills, Decision making).

###Points Points will be awarded throughout the storyline and minigames to encourage right decisions. They are assigned based on users’ ability to think critically, demonstrate self-esteem, and understanding of reproductive health. Points can be further used for purchasing new clothes/accessories or advancing to new levels.

###Evolving Character The Avatar,starting at age 13, would evolve to emulate corresponding storylines regarding puberty, aging, and self-esteem.

###Superpowers Superpowers associated with particular personality traits of the Avatar can be gained as and when new scenarios/challenges are presented before the Avatar. These superpowers would manifest in playful forms of positive attributes.
