This project evokes a smile, as it combines aspects of gaming, a scavenger hunt, local craftsmanship, and institutional pride. The app uses proximity engagement technology (ibeacons) in handcrafted statuettes to unlock historical facts about Martin Luther and the influence of the Reformation on public education. It engaged a high percentage of the student body and successfully sustained participation rates over the course of a month. Designed and built by in-house staff, the pilot paved the way for a project the following year.
