North Atlantic right whales are critically endangered with a population of about 500 whales. We worked with our sponsors at the New England Aquarium to produce a right whale video game framework. The purpose of a right whale video game was to raise awareness about right whales and how we as a community can support right whale conservation efforts. Our framework and recommendations laid the foundation for the development of a video game that WPI student game developers will prototype.
