Game-based Learning

Turning Lessons into Games

What is gamified teaching?

An educational approach that integrates game elements into learning activities to increase student engagement, motivation, and knowledge retention.

Indian students in a village classroom try to learn biodiversity by using gamified teachin

Aims of this project

The main aim of this project is to make biodiversity education more accessible to primary and middle school students through gamified tools. 

 

We intend to reach out to the marginalized communities that can benefit from gamified learning and make science learning more engaging for them. Therefore, the physical board games will be provided to the underprivileged schools in and around Bhopal. For broader reach, an online version will be available for everyone to download.

In this project, we are focusing on the biodiversity in and around Bhojtal, one of the largest man-made lakes in India located in Bhopal, the capital city of Madhya Pradesh.

What is Bhojtal?

It's a large, artificial lake in Bhopal, the capital city of Madhya Pradesh, India. The lake is a critical resource for Bhopal, and is recognized as a Ramsar site of international importance due to its rich biodiversity.

The project is an innovation in biodiversity awareness and pedagogy, as the awardees wish to include teachers from marginalised communities, who might benefit from this teaching tool. Mukherjee is optimistic about this opportunity, ​“We hope to make Bhopal a focus of science outreach, usually reserved for tier 1 cities.”
