About
A VR application that allows users to practice and learn written Japanese (Kanji). Players explore a virtual outdoor temple world discovering written exercises where they can walk up to and practice tracing those characters with increasing difficulty
Impact
The easiest way to learn a country's native language is to immersive yourself in that country's culture. When your work goes digital it is internationally accessible and multicultural. We aim to build an interesting and fun learning environment.

The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
