This idea will develop a knowledge and understanding of River
Clyde transportation, past and present, applying this knowledge to
the design of a fun, interactive trading card game for children
aimed at educating children on River Clyde transportation. Working
as product designers for a popular children's game manufacturer.
Learners will research, design and produce the playing cards and
game, the packaging for the game and name the game. This game will
be based on and follow the rules of a popular trading card game
currently in production.
