GAMIFIED LEARNING MADE POSSIBLE BY A 2023-2024 WISD EDUCATION FOUNDATION GRANT AWARDED TO CLIFT'S LIBRARIAN
Gamification allows scholars to own their own learning by providing them with
experiences they can connect to real-world situations.
Gamified kits enhance a student’s learning through engagement and flexibility making it easy to use in a variety of learning environments. Gamified kits support the integration of inspiring and encouraging activities with the tools needed to spark a learner’s intrinsic motivation leading to an increase in positive behavior outcomes.
Gaming elements can help increase engagement with concepts students want to avoid by transforming learning into entertaining tasks they can’t wait to try.
Try More, Discover More
LEGO bricks give students the opportunity to discover, build, and create. With over 30 different colors of bricks and tons of special pieces like wheels and eye elements, the only limit to what they can build and create is their imagination. From huge models to tiny, detailed micro-builds, anything is possible!
An Invention Kit for Everyone!

to become problem solvers.
