Gaming as a methodology. We believe in the power of play and its mechanics as a highly scalable tool to reach the minds of a generation, to stimulate their creativity, to initiate them in the ways of computational thinking and to train them in the critical skills for the future we are already living. Our goal is to impact the lives of 100 million children in 10 years.
