Can’t Wait to Learn – Ukraine

Can’t Wait to Learn is a digital learning application, where learners play in a contextualised game world. The game world is co-created with children to be relatable to the child and to be culturally appropriate. From the game world, learners access sequenced educational activities that are presented in a pattern of video followed by a set of gamified exercises (minigames) for each level. The minigames also function as mini-tests and learners have to show a minimal level of competency in order to continue to the next stage of the game. Playing minigames lets children progress in the game world and game narrative. CWTL provides feedback to the children and allows for self-paced learning.
