GAMIFIED LEARNING MADE POSSIBLE BY A 2023-2024 WISD EDUCATION FOUNDATION GRANT AWARDED TO CLIFT'S LIBRARIAN
Gaming is good for the brain! Gamification fully engages scholars by
making them the creators of their own knowledge and skills.
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.
Through innovative designs scholars develop the thought processes needed
to become problem solvers.
Building Creative Minds
Scholars discover the joy of creating original works of art or cleverly designed contraptions. Creativity brings joy, which is why the arts are so important. Future architects and engineers discover their aptitude for building early. Young KEVA builders today will be building our world in a few years.
Screenless Coding
Cubetto is the friendly wooden robot that will teach scholars the basics of computer programming through adventure and hands-on play. Montessori approved, LOGO Turtle inspired.
Gamification allows scholars to own their own learning by providing them with
experiences they can connect to real-world situations.
