Edutainment

Short Description
In order to explain and make the seniors understand the concepts of augmented and virtual reality, we used several games and application for mobile. We played with cars inside the classroom, even though cars didn’t exist in reality, or brought birds or elephants inside.

Educate by entertaining. One key for a more active participation to the learning process of TG is by enhancing the entertaining aspect of education: game is something serious. In several languages game and play are expressed by the same word. And the training on coding we aim to develop with this project is much connected with gamification as elders by developing apps, games or tools will, firstly, play. By playing a game, by identifying oneself in a character, elders will have a very instructive occasion for them to learn and to objectify their experiences and possible room for improvements.
