🚨 Problem Statement

More than 20% of students are disengaged from traditional classroom learning. These students often perceive a disconnect between academic subjects and real-world relevance, leading to reduced motivation and poor academic outcomes.

Educational tools at the time, despite technological advancements, failed to truly transform learning. They lacked interactivity, contextual relevance, and emotional engagement — key factors for young learners in today's world.

🚪 What Happened After

🚪 What Happened After

Explore AgoRA was launched at a time of great promise, but like many EdTech startups, the COVID-19 pandemic presented insurmountable challenges.

Despite its massive potential and global recognition, the company was closed in 2021. However, its innovative approach to learning through AR and gamification remains a proud milestone in my career — one that showcased the true potential of design to change how children connect with knowledge.
