Summary/Abstract: Turkey has been the site of devastating earthquakes. According to study conducted in 2010, the probability of a severe earthquake in Istanbul in the next 30 years is approximately 40%. Unfortunately, 72.1% of Istanbul residents do not have an earthquake survival bag. In response to this issue, I am conducting a research project “Interactive Learning: The Earthquake Emergency Kit Game.”This game, developed using the GDevelop software, will allow elementary school students to explore a virtual home and select items for an emergency kit. Correctly chosen items will be highlighted with explanations of their usefulness. Upon completing the game, students will assess the completeness of their emergency kit. A week later, a survey will evaluate whether they managed to prepare survival kits at home, either independently or with parental assistance.
