What specific problem are you solving?
Across Egypt and the Middle East, classrooms are filled with students silently waiting for the bell to ring—disconnected, distracted, and disheartened. Science, one of the most powerful tools for understanding the world, is too often reduced to lifeless definitions on a whiteboard. For students with ADHD and learning difficulties, this isn’t just boring—it’s unbearable. Studies show that passive learning, like lectures, leads to retention rates as low as 5%. But when students are engaged—when they experiment, explore, and experience—retention can soar to 75%. And yet, the vast majority of schools still rely on outdated methods that ignore how kids actually learn. This failure hits hardest for neurodiverse learners. In the Arab region, up to 11% of children are estimated to have ADHD. These students don’t just struggle with focus—they struggle to feel seen. Traditional classrooms often misinterpret their energy as defiance, their curiosity as distraction. The result? A generation that grows up believing science isn’t for them. This problem isn’t small. It affects millions. And it will continue—unless we reimagine how learning works.
What is your solution?
Noxed is a mobile-based learning platform that transforms traditional education into immersive, story-driven games—where every level teaches a real curriculum concept, and every challenge sparks curiosity. We at Noxed work on converting educational curriculums into entertaining games for students. We provide an interactive and immersive experience using story techniques and a collaboration & competition-based environment, allowing students to explore and engage with content in a more fun and meaningful way than traditional methods. Instead of memorizing facts, students step into fictional worlds, face science-based challenges, and actively solve problems as part of a larger adventure. Each experience is crafted to not only teach—but inspire. What sets Noxed apart is our AI-powered personalization. As students play, the platform adapts in real time to their pace and performance—making it especially impactful for students with ADHD and learning difficulties, who often feel left behind in traditional classrooms. The platform includes a mobile app for students—where they access games, assignments, and performance reports—and a connected system for teachers to track progress and guide learning. Noxed doesn’t just make science easier to learn. It makes it impossible to forget. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dGPaLeKRMwJuKlPJibK8x9YQC8eIzQH_/
Who does your solution serve, and in what ways will the solution impact their lives?
Noxed serves both students and teachers. it’s built for the student who sits in class struggling to stay focused, the one who learns differently, who needs more than lectures to understand. We focus on students aged 12 to 15—a critical age where curiosity should be ignited, not silenced. Our solution is especially impactful for students with ADHD and learning difficulties, who are often left behind by rigid, traditional education systems. These students aren’t less capable—they just need to learn through experience, interaction, and imagination. By turning lessons into immersive games, Noxed gives these learners a chance to engage on their own terms. They don’t just memorize—they explore, experiment, and truly understand. At the same time, Noxed empowers teachers with a platform to assign curriculum-aligned games, track progress, and reach every student—no matter their learning style. We’re not just improving grades. We’re rebuilding confidence, reigniting curiosity, and reshaping the way students and teachers experience learning together.
