For the last five years, TechFactors Inc used games to enhance interactivity for learners in basic education (covering pre-school, grade school, and high school). Aside from providing motivation, gaming also allows learners to get really involved with the learning process. In addition, there are mental skills required to play certain games that are beneficial to learners. The talk will show the educational framework used, the challenges overcome, and the experience of successfully setting up astart-up business that now serves over 200 schools with over 100,000 students nationwide. ===== Jaime D.L.
