Volunteer Activity - Alternative Science Facts

Can you design icons for different screens?

Acting as a “graphic designer” for a new, 2D video game, learners create icons or characters through pixel art. By designing the same icon or character in two different sizes, learners ensure the “game” can be played on phones (simplified images for smaller screens) and/or desktop computers (larger images for bigger screens).
