Song of the Starbird is an educational web-based game designed to support the nationally recognized need to encourage and enhance education in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) area and promote hearing health in 4-5th grade students. The primary objective of the game is to develop children’s scientific knowledge base about hearing science and acoustics; the secondary objective is to leverage this knowledge to develop positive attitudes and behaviors related to their own hearing health. The fun and engaging game has 5-levels and is based upon the Dangerous Decibels® program and activities. Initial development of the game is complete and formative evaluation has been conducted on 4-5th grade students, teachers, and high school students. This presentation will introduce the game and accompanying classroom teacher materials along with a request for wider dissemination to gain game functionality feedback from the attendees.
