In this video Becca Barker, Education & Engagement Officer at International Development charity WaterAid, shares with us the importance of tackling water poverty, and the challenges faced by many of the world's poorest people in accessing clean, safe drinking water. As well as this, Becca shares some tips and tricks for creating your own videogame that tackles complex social issues.

This video was produced as part of Mobo Game Jam, the international game-making challenge which will see young innovators from the UK and Nigeria compete to create games that combine creativity, compassion and computational thinking to solve a worldwide problem.

Individuals and teams aged 8-18 must submit a game or game concept that explores how to achieve a future where everyone has access to clean water. Entries must meet a brief set by WaterAid, which has been brought to life in a mini film by the renowned storyteller Grandma Wura, a fictional character created by Proud African Roots.

Kids and teens keen to take part will have from 10:00am GMT on Thursday 17 December 2020 to 23:59pm GMT on Thursday 4 February 2021 to submit their game prototypes via video submission. Entrants will be allowed to submit their prototypes digitally or physically.
