Abstract

This work aims to develop an interactive artifact in the form of a "game" to assist in teaching the theme immunization, a subject that is addressed in the classes of the science discipline in Brazilian elementary schools and of such importance for combating the dissemination of misleading information that eventually ends up making people to choose not to take vaccines, which causes outbreaks of disease around the world. The project was developed using an inductive methodology, modeled in a focus situation based on the Iterative process proposed by Salen and Zimmerman (2012) and Fullerton (2014), the methodological steps contemplated in this project are: immersion, conceptualization, prototyping and playtesting. Using design and game design research and development methodologies it was possible to create a prototype of a game that includesin its configuration elements of the defined subject.
