Hi Josie, That sounds like a really interesting project. At the Wikipedia Library, we have been thinking a lot about readerly literacy in Wikipedia (and hope to build a portal to expose people to research literacy information), and the age group that you are targeting these materials for, would be fairly good for a public audience as well. Will this work product/game based learning material have to be in an on-wiki format?
It would be awesome if we could distribute it more broadly, while keeping people on Wikipedia. I am thinking the game-architecture used for the The Wikipedia Adventure ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Adventure ) would allow for such a piece of information to be shared with members of the editing community and become a standard link on things like welcome templates.
