We presented Lyriko at Educational Gaming

Masako and Dan got a great opportunity to talk at the Educational Gaming conference put on by SERESC and Zulama. There were so many great questions raised by the teachers who attended, and it was more interactive than we expected. We talked about how to work with remote teams, working with people from other languages and cultures, and what abilities kids will need in the future. The teachers were already starting from the point that “learning should be fun,” so it was great to move past that point to how to make it really engaging. We could feel all the attendees are trying to change education, and that gave us a lot of energy. We’re so grateful for such a wonderful opportunity!
