Quest to Learn – A Truly New Approach to Education

At Quest, we define games as carefully designed, student-driven systems that are narrative-based, structured, interactive and immersive.

Why games? In the past decade or so, leading educational researchers have discovered that games allow for some of the richest learning experiences.

• Games ask us to collaborate with others and learn by doing.
• Games let us know if we are failing or succeeding at a moment’s notice and allow us to retry, or “iterate,” after a failure or loss.
• Unlike traditional educational systems, failure is a necessary and integral part of the “game.” It creates a context for students to be motivated to try again and succeed.
• Learning experiences in games don’t feel like spoon-fed education. Learning experiences feel like play.

At Quest to Learn, learning happens by doing.
