Gus's Nuclear Adventure
A hand-tracked Quest 3 adventure that lets 4th and 5th grade students explore Plant Hatch while learning about energy, water quality, and the surrounding ecosystem.
Gus’s Nuclear Adventure is a Meta Quest 3 experience developed for Southern Nuclear and designed for 4th and 5th grade students. Guided by Gus the Gopher Tortoise, players explore a tabletop model of Plant Hatch and learn how the plant connects to its surrounding environment.
Using hand tracking, students follow the steam and cooling loop, trace electricity through the plant, monitor water quality, build wildlife habitats, and plant trees. Each activity connects facility operations with the surrounding ecosystem through short, approachable interactions.
My contribution spanned early concept development through Gold. I helped shape the tabletop format and interaction model, align the learning goals with the VR experience, and keep the content clear, feasible, and ready for classroom use.
