Evanah Serumola of Mega Minds Nation, a growing company aimed at building innovative solutions has created an educational game called “I AM SMART” in a bid to address challenges faced by many students in schools and make learning more comfortable.
The 24-year-old young lady who is in her final lap at the University of Botswana reading for a Bachelor’s degree in education sciences, majoring in chemistry shared that her vision is to see education enjoyed by every student hence she came up with innovative ways of studying such that the learner remembers and can apply what they have learned without struggling.
The Semolale born and raised stated that her objective is to motivate students, especially those who imposed themselves as not good enough. “The plan is to make them believe that they are smart enough and will grasp the content like the rest of the other students, hence the name, I AM SMART, ’’ she states.
Articulating how the game is played, she said that four or more players are required to play, with a minimum of two on each team. The team members take turns describing the words on the card that they have picked to their team members.
A word gotten right is a point, which earns them a step forward along the board toward graduation, which signifies the completion of the game. The words are science-based, specifically, biology, physics, and chemistry with 1500 words based on the general science syllabus of both junior and senior levels.
The game is slated to be launched end of February this year, however, trials of the game have been done at all levels of education last year.
She highlighted that the game has been well received and they look forward to great support from Batswana.
“My target market is schools generally, government or private, and tutoring centers. Every student everywhere is my client,” she added.
She plans to create more educational tools for all levels of Primary and with more subjects onboard.
“I am working on having the primary science and math board game ready before the launch,” noting that she most importantly hopes to get investors who can assist in the realization of her empowering dream.
