Student-led start-up merges study and play

Singapore

REMEMBER choose-your-own-adventure books or the multi-player online game Club Penguin? Local educational technology start-up LevelUp World hopes to use these as models for a smarter and more enjoyable mode of learning for children under the age of 12.

Since its inception in 2019, LevelUp has managed to secure some S$100,000 in equity-free funding from competitions and grants, such as Oxford's Incubator and the European Young Innovator Award in 2020.
