The School of Gaming is pioneering a new approach to education by integrating play into learning. In today’s digital age, children’s free play is rapidly declining, impacting creativity, social skills, and cognitive development. To address this, School of Gaming blends popular online games with structured educational experiences, equipping kids with essential 21st-century skills.
As the organization continues to grow, it is currently raising €400,000 through KoFund.ai to expand its reach and impact. This funding will support its efforts to bring game-based learning to more children, enhance its technology, and build a thriving community of educators and learners. Investors, educators, and gaming enthusiasts are invited to join this transformative journey.
A New Approach to Learning Through Gaming
School of Gaming harnesses the power of popular games like Minecraft and Fortnite to create immersive learning experiences. Rather than viewing gaming as a distraction, it transforms these digital platforms into tools for problem-solving, creativity, teamwork, and digital literacy. The organization provides a safe, structured environment where children can develop skills that are crucial for their future.
In addition to benefiting students, School of Gaming also supports parents and educators by offering resources that help them understand the value of gaming in child development. It also empowers independent game educators by providing tools and platforms to teach and inspire children through interactive, game-based lessons.
Why Game-Based Learning is Essential
The decline of free play among children is a growing concern. Studies show that 20% of children receive less than one hour of free play per week, leading to potential developmental challenges. At the same time, 95% of parents agree that play is crucial for their child's growth, yet nearly half say they struggle to find time to play with their kids.
Gamification in education has emerged as one of the most effective ways to bridge this gap. By integrating play into learning, children can develop essential skills in a way that feels natural and enjoyable. Digital gaming, when used strategically, can enhance creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration, all of which are critical for success in the modern world.
Growth and Market Potential:

Since its inception, School of Gaming has demonstrated significant traction in the education and consumer markets. The organization generated €510,000 in turnover in 2023, reflecting 198% growth from 2020 to 2023. Currently, 1,500+ gamers are actively engaged in its programs, and its methods have been successfully implemented in schools and municipal programs, validating its effectiveness in educational settings.
Having customers in 10 different countries, School of Gaming is now focused on expanding beyond government and institutional partnerships to reach a broader consumer audience. This shift presents a unique opportunity for investors looking to support a business that combines social impact with financial sustainability.
Funding Goals and Expansion Plans
To scale its impact, School of Gaming has already secured €200,000 and is now raising an additional €200,000. These funds will be allocated to several key initiatives:
Expanding into the consumer market by reaching English-speaking audiences worldwide.
Enhancing technological capabilities to improve and personalize learning experiences for consumers.
Growing the marketplace to empower independent game educators with better tools and resources.
