Video games are powerful educational tools. And the biggest opportunity is not just in playing games. It’s in MAKING games! We are breaking the time, skills and cost barriers of game making and empowering teachers and students as content creators of educational games. This approach involves them in the creation of their own learning tools and unleashes the power of games for learning at scale.

About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

Video games are powerful educational tools. The impact they leave on our brain far transcends the virtual boundary in which we play them. I see an opportunity to leverage this power for learning gains but making games is costly, complicated & clunky. I am committed to harnessing emerging tech like no-code to level the playing field & democratize educational content creation.

What does your innovation look like in practice?

Breshna is being used to create fun and interactive educational games.

From teachers in Saudi making math games in Arabic to students in USA co-creating science games, users around the world are creating snackable educational video games on Breshna.

Some examples of Breshna in practice:
* Students are challenged to create their own video games as an assignment/homework to capture what they learnt in class
* Teachers are creating custom video games to replace quizzes & tests
* Educators are partnering with Breshna to co-create libraries of custom video games mapped against learning objectives
* Teachers are leveraging Breshna as a platform for project-based learning

Breshna games can be played on any smart device and are sharable with a simple URL, which allows for cost- & time-effective use and distribution.

We have partnered with global school systems like Beaconhouse to unleash the power of teacher/student-created video games for interactive learning.

How has it been spreading?

For educators & learners, Breshna has become a tool for creating games that are both fun & interactive.

The Ambassador model is key here; we incentivize teachers who are already using Breshna to spread the word. They become our champions, showcasing their own games to fellow teachers.
This is complemented by the flywheel of content creation, where teachers' creations inspire students to craft their own games, creating a self-sustaining cycle of engagement and innovation.

It has been highly successful, as we have garnered 180K registered game makers who have made 160K+ games with over 2M game play clicks.

If I want to try it, what should I do?

Simply go to Breshna.io and create an account.

Once logged in, scroll down to 'Make a Game'. You'll see 22 different types of games you can make.

Click the 'Create' button on any game template to open our editor, then click and choose to customize your avatars, backgrounds, collectibles, and more!

Once done, simply press publish.

Your game is ready to be played and shared as a simple URL.

Impact & scalability

HundrED Academy Reviews

Breshna.io's games enhance students' motivation but students associate the typical games we play in class with school and lose interest easily. This format resembles what students play daily but the content can be curriculum-based. Motivation will remain high.

Breshna.io's user-friendly platform, no-code interface enables users globally to create educational games quickly; it has potential for scalability. Its ability to support multiple languages and adapt to various curricula enhances its potential for broader use.
