The project, titled "What Pest Are You?", is a creative and engaging educational tool designed for botanical schools, aimed at enhancing both teaching and learning about plant pests. It consists of 24 beautifully crafted cards and accompanying packaging, intended to support students and teachers alike. The cards simplify the process of learning and memorizing complex information about pests, transforming it into a more enjoyable and accessible experience.

Each card is dedicated to a specific pest or group of pests, offering a comprehensive learning experience. On one side, students will find detailed information on identification, habitat, damage caused, and control methods. The reverse side features a vivid illustration of the pest, complete with a scale to demonstrate its size and an image of the damage it causes to plants.

The versatility of these cards is a key aspect of the project. They are designed to be used in multiple ways: as individual flashcards for self-study or as part of a fun group game, like the popular Hedbanz game, where players must guess the card they’re holding. This interactive approach to learning helps reinforce knowledge while keeping the learning process dynamic and playful.

Crafted from durable, waterproof materials and printed using UV technology, the cards are built to last, ensuring the illustrations and text remain vibrant and clear even with frequent use. The set is housed in a thoughtfully designed package, which not only includes the cards but also provides an instructional guide to help users make the most of this versatile educational tool.

Through its engaging format and multiple learning possibilities, this project provides an innovative, user-friendly solution for mastering the challenging subject of plant pests.
