Abstract
As a product of the combination of science education and the information age, popular science apps for children are playing an increasingly important role, and popular science games have gradually become a new way to disseminate scientific knowledge. Gamification can stimulate children’s desire to explore, curiosity. From the perspective of gamification driving forces, this paper explores the triggering of eight core driving forces for different types of player user behaviors, and combines the status quo and user characteristics of children’s science popularization apps to obtain the game driving mechanism for four types of player users, and then through children’s science popularization The user journey analysis of similar APPs, according to the user’s usage process habits, builds a gamification driving model for children’s popular science APPs. And use this to guide the gamification design of children’s popular science APP with the theme of carbon neutrality, and finally evaluate the design plan. Introducing gamification design into the field of children’s science popularization can actively guide user behavior, provide children with an entertaining way of learning, and promote their interest in and understanding of science.
