local-llm-npc is an innovative interactive educational game designed for the Google Gemma 3n Impact Challenge. This immersive platform utilizes Gemma 3n’s advanced on-device, multimodal AI technology to create private, offline-first learning experiences set in a beautifully rendered garden environment. The project showcases how cutting-edge AI can transform education, enhance accessibility, and promote sustainability, particularly in areas with limited connectivity.

Key Features

• Educational NPC: Provides lessons on sustainable farming, botany, and more, employing Socratic dialogue and interactive activities.
• Progress Tracking: Monitors user learning milestones, completed topics, and assessments to personalize the educational experience.
• Customizable AI Host: Allows easy configuration of the Ollama/Gemma 3n endpoint within the game settings.
• Gemma 3n Model Support: Facilitates dynamic model selection, supporting tailored learning structures based on user preferences.

Usage Example

To instantiate conversations with the educational NPC, users can engage with it through structured dialogues, enabling hands-on learning. A typical interaction may involve:

NPC: "What are the best practices for growing tomatoes in your region?"
User: "I usually water them every day."
NPC: "Watering frequency depends on the weather. Have you considered checking soil moisture?"

This game is specifically designed to run offline, ensuring uninterrupted access to essential learning materials without the need for an internet connection. By fostering a learning environment that respects user privacy, local-llm-npc empowers learners to explore and interact with educational content securely.
