Gamifying Cloud Native: How to Design and Build an Educational Game for Your Project
Have you ever struggled to explain what a Cloud Native project does? One of the challenges many cloud native projects face is that the abstractions they provide are not intuitive for new users. Since cloud technologies are often built on top of each other and use domain specific language, this problem compounds. Luckily, educational games can be made to help communicate these abstract concepts in a fun and engaging format! In this talk, we will explore how you can build an educational game for your project through the example of a game that the Knative community has built to teach Knative Eventing. We will walk through the steps other open source projects can follow to design their own educational game, including brainstorming strategies for deciding on key concepts and which metaphors/symbols to use to represent these concepts. These information design strategies can also be applied to create more understandable educational cloud native content in general!
