Immersed Games

Immersed Games is harnessing the engaging power of video games to create a hands-on experiential learning platform. Their flagship product, Tyto Online (www.tytoonline.com), is a video game for middle school students to learn science content and skills designed for the new science standards that are being implemented across the country. The student experience includes activities like building complex ecosystems from scratch to learn ecology or working with a botanist to solve a food shortage as they learn genetics. They have received grants from the Dept. of Education and NSF (actively on a Phase II), and were purchased by educational agencies for over 4,000 students this school year. Their long-term goal is to take the platform theyre building and open it up for partners to build content in top of it, becoming a video game experience with nearly unlimited content
