VANAHEIM is an innovative 3D gamified platform designed to promote environmental science (EVS) education through immersive learning and real-world participation. The project bridges virtual sustainability education with physical eco-activities by combining interactive 3D simulations and a machine learning (ML) model that tracks user- submitted evidence of environmental efforts such as planting trees, recycling, and waste cleanup. This integration ensures that virtual progress mirrors authentic environmental action, encouraging behavioral change. VANAHEIM aims to cultivate ecological responsibility and awareness among students and the general public through gameplay, challenges, and tangible rewards for sustainability contributions.
