Project Details:
Developed an Android driving simulation app using Unity and C# to enhance learning, safety, and awareness while driving, by training users to incorporate road rules without the use of a car and to begin forming procedural, rather than declarative, memory through repetitive action. The intended use for this app could be part of a driving course, or to practice for G1 and G2 tests.

As part of my BASEF application, I created a 15-page paper on the results of my project, titled, “A New ‘App’roach to Enhance Learning and Improve Safety with Driving”. This paper focused on my process, as well as my theories on how the app could promote procedural memories. The results were based on feedback received from beta testers, as well as results from an initial interest survey.
