Fostering Innovative Thinking
The game is free to download and can be played anywhere, anytime - even in school yards, during their commute or while waiting in queues. They can play in 5 minute sessions or an hour after school. All players have an equal chance to be exposed to all the content regardless of what grade they are in.
Mind Blown Pods are based on topics in the Grades 4-7 syllabus. It is presented in a way that sparks curiosity, and creates an urge to know more. Educators say our players are more curious in and out of the classroom. They ask more questions, apply their minds and see things differently.
We have a team of researchers who check and verify every Mind Seed. We also collaborate directly with scientists, field researchers and others to be assured of the quality of the facts. We subscribe to the best Science and Nature journals and keep our finger on the pulse of discovery.
- New Mind Seeds researched and added daily,
- Constant communication with education experts,
- Regular updates to keep game trendy & fresh,
- Global playing field
- Multiple tournaments
From "Wow" To "Why?" To "Why Not?"
We believe that curiosity is the engine of innovation. We know that schools are challenged to make learning more responsive to the 21st Century. Therefore we created the Mind Blown ecosystem to support schools. Our design is underpinned by core principles propounded by the world’s leading education reformists, such as:
Radical intervention is need in Maths and Science and we cannot start in Grade 12. We can only have more scientists, engineers and innovators if we encourage learners when they are still in the younger grades. Using Mind Blown to encourage learning through play is an excellent start to this engagement.
I love it because of the learning and the social interaction. My learners who play Mind Blown are starting to interact with learners who are not in their circle of friends and they are much more alert in class. They ask more questions, engage more with content and look for their own Mind Blown Facts to wow their friends..
I can see how the strategies of the Mind Blown games can be used to create an excitement to learn. We are very excited about its potential.
