Hi, welcome to Tech This Evening, an After-Work Tech Newsletter from Techparley Africa. Sure, there is a lot to unpack right now. Sit back, while I walk you through.
Top Story: DRIVE100: How Movable Games is Using AI to Make Learning Fun and Boost Performance of School Children in Africa
Many students struggle to retain knowledge, as traditional classrooms often fail to engage children effectively, particularly in core subjects like Mathematics, English, and Science. Movable Games addresses these challenges by transforming lessons into interactive, game-based experiences.
The platform is designed for students aged 3–12, leveraging AI-powered gameplay and physical gamepads to turn learning into play.
In this edition of Techparley’s DRIVE100, we spotlight Movable Games, founded by Okechukwu David Akahara, which is redefining how young Africans learn by blending AI, neuroscience, and gamified classroom experiences.
“Movable Games solves the problem of low student engagement and low academic performance by transforming traditional classroom lessons into interactive, game-based learning experiences powered by AI and physical gamepads,” Okechukwu told Techparley.
