DuckQuest

Embark on a journey to teach children algorithmic thinking through a fun and interactive board game!

DuckQuest is an educational game designed to make learning with fun and interactions. Play the role of an adventurous duck and solve logical challenges to progress!

The game

DuckQuest is a hands-on, screen-free board game that teaches children how to think like a computer—through graph-based puzzles and pathfinding challenges.

Players help a duck navigate from a start node to a destination using buttons and colored LEDs. The goal: build the most efficient route while avoiding costly paths...

About

In a world filled with screens, how can children learn to think like engineers—without one? DuckQuest reimagines STEM learning through a physical, screen-free board game.

Blending storytelling, algorithmic logic, and hands-on interaction, it teaches core computing skills with nothing more than a duck, a pond, and a puzzle...

How it works

Curious about the tech behind DuckQuest? This section explores the system’s inner workings—from the hardware setup to the algorithmic logic.

Learn how Python, Dijkstra’s algorithm, and a Raspberry Pi turn a physical board into an interactive logic engine...
