Empowering High School Students Through Gamification
ed-games provides high school students with an interactive and fun
learning experience through the power of gamification. ed-games is a collaborative
online platform for playing, building and sharing immersive games
that empower and educate teenagers on social impact and life issues
Knowledge + Empathy = Informed Engagement
Todays high school students are more engaged than any previous generation and increasingly socially conscious. From everyday life challenges to the major topics impacting their world, todays teenagers crave empowerment so they can affect real change and succeed in life.
This generation is the first to be fully digitally native. Apps like TikTok and Snapchat are part of their daily lives.They want practical ways to build knowledge and develop empathy to not only thrive in the world, but also make it a better place – and they need their learning experience to be engaging, entertaining and digital.
Power of Gamification
Through the power of gamification, ed-games provides high school students with an interactive and immersive learning experience. Our games allow students to take on various roles, master tasks and achieve set goals. Players begin to understand the consequences of their decisions, while learning skills they can use in real life to empower themselves and push for social change.
Ed-games will impart knowledge, create awareness and enable self-empowerment, helping students to become more engaged citizens, not only in the virtual world, but the real one as well.
Take On a Role
ed-games allow students to take on various roles – a small business owner, historical figure or mayor of a
city, for example – then master tasks and achieve set goals. Through these actions, players begin to
understand the consequences of their decisions in a playful way.
