Problem
Traditional education systems fail to engage diverse learners, with 35% of children disengaged from learning and BAME and neurodiverse students falling up to 18+ months behind their peers. The curriculum lacks cultural inclusivity, climate education is not taught in schools, and over 33% of students fail their I/GCSEs, leaving many children without the support they need to succeed.
Solution
Brainspark Games provides free, culturally inclusive, AI-powered augmented reality educational mobile games that align with the national curriculum for primary and secondary learners. The platform uses pioneering neurogames technology to condense 12 weeks of term-time learning into just a few hours of fast, engaging gameplay, covering subjects such as English, science, maths, physics, history, languages, and climate education. By combining quests, quizzes, and mini-games with immersive AR experiences, the company makes complex topics like Shakespeare, algebra, and climate change accessible and enjoyable for all learning styles. The games are designed to enhance literacy and numeracy while fostering a love of learning through play, ensuring no child gets left behind regardless of their background or learning needs.
Target Audience
Primary users are primary and secondary school students, with additional engagement from educators, schools, and families seeking inclusive, curriculum-aligned educational tools.
