CompletedOpen for Creators to improve

Nexus Data

A browser-based learning game for school classes: in a cyberpunk city knocked out by a cyber attack, students recover Open Data fragments by querying an API, checking data and sources, and visualising data.

This project is finished, but ODON Creators and interns are welcome to improve it. How to join ↓

Play the game Source code on GitHub
Nexus Data in a browser window: the glowing "NEXUS DATA" logo above the line "Die Stadt ist im digitalen Koma. Hol die Open Data Fragmente zurück!" and a "Spiel starten" button, set against a dark city at night.

After a cyber attack, the city of Nexus is in a digital coma. In Nexus Data, a school class brings it back online by recovering Open Data fragments across four levels:

  1. Build an API request and read the JSON response.
  2. Find altered values by comparing them with a real dataset.
  3. Fact-check messages: supported, unclear or refuted.
  4. Choose the right chart for a dataset, and decide what is Open Data and what falls under data protection.
  • Runs in the browser and saves progress there.
  • Available in German.
  • Code under EUPL-1.2, media and texts under CC BY 4.0.

Nexus Data was built by Sarah and Chiara Hamedinger during their internship at ODON, with expert feedback from Mimikama on fact-checking.

Licence: EUPL-1.2
