Jaxons Universe is a game created for my son Jaxon Alan who is 2 years old and obsessed with his planets and dwarf planets. We have spent hours together reading planet books, watching YouTube videos, visiting the Australian Space Discovery Center and singing songs about planets. I wanted to find an app or game that would help to encourage his learning while being fun and engaging.
Everything I found was littered with annoying adverts, had payment gates to subscribe to get to more advanced games or to get rid of the before-mentioned annoying ads and was not as engaging as I wanted; and so Jaxons Universe was created!
I worked closely with my subject matter expert (Jaxon) and went through numerous iterations and tests, which were tremendously fun and enjoyable!
