Where energy literacy begins at the very first charging moment.

AI Energy Explorer is a dual-system experience designed to bridge the gap between energy awareness and real-world charging behavior. By combining a parent-facing smart charging app with a child-facing interactive game, the system turns EV charging decisions into a collaborative family activity rooted in everyday routines. Through immersive storytelling, real-time scheduling recommendations, and tangible rewards, the project transforms peak–valley energy concepts into understandable, actionable, and habit-forming behaviors—making sustainable charging part of daily life rather than a conscious burden.

problem

As EV adoption accelerates, peak-hour charging places growing pressure on the power grid, yet most users lack the awareness, motivation, or clarity needed to actively participate in off-peak charging programs.

solution

Create a family-centered energy education system that uses intelligent scheduling, playful learning, and real-world incentives to guide users toward off-peak EV charging and long-term sustainable energy habits.

How might we encourage families to adopt off-peak EV charging behaviors by transforming abstract energy concepts into intuitive, shared, and rewarding everyday experiences?

This project introduces a dual-system solution to help families manage EV charging more efficiently. The parent-facing app provides real-world charging scheduling and peak–valley electricity recommendations, while the child-facing game immerses kids in energy-themed adventures across five interactive scenarios—from space islands to solar valleys. Through coordinated choices, both generations develop a shared understanding of energy literacy, making smarter grid decisions part of daily life.

Game Prologue

On Mars, the “Midas” Starlink Energy Base relies on intelligent systems to manage all energy flow. Titi’s father, an energy systems engineer, fell into a coma after a mysterious system collapse, leaving the base in low-power mode.
Awakened by a mysterious cat, Titi begins a journey to restore the base’s energy — exploring D different place to awaken the sleeping power network.
