For the last 2 years, DragonBox worked with Norwegian, Finnish and French teachers to pilot a play-based solution that covers the full math curriculum and involved 1300 school students. This talk will describe the challenges that involved creating a research-based pedagogical design that took into account the needs of students, teachers and administrators (spoiler: it was not easy). DragonBox School is a hybrid solution: games are complemented with multiple printed textbooks and story books: we'll also analyze why we reached that format rather than going all-digital. We recommend this talk for game creators interested in making real impact in schools.

Speakers:
Gonzalo Frasca (Chief Design Officer, DragonBox)
