lse challenge future team: Fun + Meaning2 = 2030 finals

As education lacks fun and innovation more and more and people are spending an increasing amount of time having meaningless fun, we have created edutain me, an online platform that combines fun and education and will make learning fun again and fun more meaningful. edutain me suggests academically valuable and entertaining resources from the web (videos, quizzes, simulations, games, pictures etc.) according to user’s interests, age, location and educational level. The material is suggested and reviewed by educators in various fields so that it is of a high quality. Users rate the material they were suggested and thereby the quality and fit will constantly improve. We want to enable users to find entertaining, relevant, valuable and meaningful resources in the complexity of the web and therefore contribute to the future of fun in learning.

Fun + Meaning2 = 2030 semi finals

edutain-me

Not flexible. Uncreative. Restrictive. These are all words which education specialists use today to describe the formal educational system. For the internet, many people would argue that despite it being a useful communication tool, most of it is also meaningless, full of irrelevant pieces of information. Based on these observations, we will venture on a quest to create an innovative online platform called edutain-me which selects and links users to relevant, fun and educational content for students and life-long learners. The high quality of the user - tailored recommendations (on the basis of academic data, personal information and preferences) is given by the reviews of the educators and teachers. Imagine an opportunity to learn what you need, when you need and want it, through videos, comic strips, games, interactive textbooks, online tutorials, games and quizzes by only requiring an internet connection and access to a device which can use it. In a primordial market with approximately 75 million potential users, finding the right partners in charities, the online media, authorities and having a great communication strategy are crucial aspects. By carefully analysing the market and assessing the risks which could occur, as well as developing a sustainable financing structure, we aim to make edutain-me an important educational tool, complementary to the formal educational system. In this continuously changing industry, we strongly believe we can design the product to generate a sustainable change in the future of fun in learning by 2030.
