EcoQuest
I started EcoQuest because I wanted environmental education to feel less like a lecture and more like something students could actively participate in. As Founder and COO, I designed and programmed a match-3 energy literacy game where students reduce classroom electricity use by learning how appliances consume power and how behavior affects emissions.
After testing EcoQuest with 26 students at a youth academy, we found 2.3 times higher electricity literacy and 4.4 times stronger environmental education perception. Since then, we developed a waste-reduction version with the Korea National Park Service and tested it with 100+ people. Today, EcoQuest serves 300+ monthly active users, submitted research to IEEE Access, and acquired $60,000 from a carbon management firm to launch in 250 schools across South Korea.
