Building the Next Generation of Learning Through Immersive Edutainment

As education systems worldwide evolve, the Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MoEHE) in Qatar is advancing efforts to strengthen student mastery of foundational competencies assessed by global benchmarks such as PISA, TIMSS, and PIRLSWhy Participate?

  • Work directly with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education on a high-impact national education challenge

Be part of shaping the next generation of learning through immersive, interactive edutainment. However, many existing learning tools still rely on traditional instructional approaches that struggle to capture students’ attention in an increasingly digital, interactive world.

Today, there is no fully immersive, game-based learning platform that delivers deep engagement, curriculum alignment, and cultural relevance—while enabling educators to easily adapt content to Qatar’s national curriculum and values.

MoEHE is calling on innovators to develop an immersive edutainment platform that embeds learning directly into interactive gameplay, creating meaningful, engaging experiences that support mastery of foundational competencies.

Your Mission:

Create an advanced immersive learning platform that places students inside rich, interactive game environments where education happens naturally through exploration and play. Your solution should combine engaging narratives, collaborative gameplay, adaptive learning mechanics, and educator-friendly tools to improve student motivation, comprehension, and long-term retention.

The goal is to move beyond surface-level gamification and deliver true edutainment—empowering students to actively learn, apply knowledge, and master foundational skills in a way that feels intuitive, engaging, and culturally relevant.
