Contract
This is a UNV contract. More about UNV contracts.
Many children in frontline regions of Ukraine continue studying online while facing daily risks such as air raid alerts, shelling, and the presence of UXO. Access to structured, engaging, and psychologically safe preparedness training remains limited.
The project introduces two complementary learning modes: Gamified training modules with interactive, choice-based scenarios that allow children to practice decision-making safely. Non-gamified AR simulation mode offering calm, observation-based experiences designed especially for neurodiverse and younger children. All content and interaction flows will be reviewed to ensure psychological safety, age-appropriateness, and trauma-sensitive design.
The Volunteer will work within a structured one-month agile implementation cycle, collaborating closely with visual designers, child education specialists, therapists, localization volunteers, testers, and a volunteer coordinator.
As an Online Volunteer, you will support the team with the following tasks: -Develop core functionality of the mobile gamified training modules (interactive scenarios, branching logic, navigation flows). -Support implementation of the AR simulation mode using lightweight, accessible technologies suitable for mobile deployment. -Ensure mobile responsiveness and optimization for low-bandwidth and offline use. -Integrate visual assets, animations, narration, subtitles, and localization components. -Implement accessibility features such as clear navigation, readable interface design, and simple interaction logic. -Collaborate with the Psychological Safety Team to ensure safe and non-stressful interaction design (e.g., avoiding aggressive timers or competitive mechanics where inappropriate). -Participate in agile sprint reviews and iterative refinement cycles. -Prepare final deliverables including APK package, structured source code, and technical documentation for open-source handover.
