The Problem

Many young learners struggle to develop foundational skills because traditional learning approaches often fail to engage them.

In Indonesia, early learning environments still rely on instruction-centered approaches, and teachers and parents are often not equipped with effective pedagogy to support children’s learning during critical developmental years.

The Solution

ICANDO addresses this challenge through a game-based learning approach that integrates educational objectives directly into interactive digital games. Thousands of educational games help learners develop foundational skills through exploration and play.

Beyond learning games for students, the solution also equips educators and parents with tools to guide learning through digital platforms.

Following its acquisition, ICANDO’s technology and learning design have been integrated into the Sekolah.mu ecosystem. The underlying game-based learning framework can support broader learning initiatives across K-12 and higher education environments.

Stats

ICANDO's platform has served 219,000 individual learners.
