Event Information
Blended ContentThe students will present their video game ChemQuest, which follows A. Tom, an oxygen atom who doesn't know how or with whom to combine.
During the session, students will explain the game development process, the reasons behind selecting their programming language, and its advantages and disadvantages.
They will also cover the basic rules of chemical nomenclature and their approach to choosing the appropriate nomenclature format.
Participants will have the opportunity to play a short round and view the simple yet clear animations showing how elements combine. The students will actively explain every step of the process, and the winners will receive a prize.

Gamification is important in learning chemistry concepts, like nomenclature, because it enhances engagement and motivation. By turning complex topics into interactive challenges, games help students visualize and practice rules in a fun, low-pressure environment. This approach promotes active learning, reinforces key concepts, and makes abstract material more relatable, improving retention and understanding while fostering curiosity and critical thinking. Additionally, gamification supports different learning styles, encouraging collaboration and problem-solving skills essential in mastering complex subjects like chemistry.
