Welding Theory Course

We created a game called "Connected to Welding" (in Brazilian Portuguese) so that students, in the welding technician course, could test their knowledge of shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) in a fun way.

In the game, the student is guided by a supervisor woman who will be attentive to everything that will be done. This supervisor will also be the character who will instruct them in the tutorial.

1. Initially, the student must check the Welding Procedure Specification (WPS), which, as the name suggests, are the specifications and guidelines to be followed for welding;

2. Subsequently, the student must select the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), which must be used by the worker;

3. Selection of supplies: the welder must bring, in addition to the welding machine (inverter), to perform the welding and cleaning after completion;

4. Choose which type of coated electrode should be brought, which is defined in the Welding Procedure Specification;

5. Correctly connect the cables to the inverter, paying attention to which cable will hold the electrode, which will be attached to the metal flame, and their respective polarities;

6. Also, according to the specifications (WPS), calibrate the amperage of the inverter so that the weld does not pierce the metal sheet, nor is it too weak;

7. Once the weld is complete, it's necessary to clean the debris (slag) left in the process;

8. The last phase is the diagnostic stage, where the student will be presented with an image of a weld with problems. They must point out what problems were presented and why the weld presented such problems.

I know it will be difficult to understand, as the vast majority of platform users are English-speaking, but I hope you appreciate the interactivity and the graphic design.
