Student experiences“Everyone sits together and there is no one who is outside the group. Everyone is included. Even those that don't have such a good social antenna are part of the group and have friends. So that's really positive.”
“I almost dropped out of school the year before Heimdall’s Quest. I didn’t really want to go to school at all.”
“If we worked hard in class there was always more opportunity to earn XP and that made it worth putting in the extra effort.”
Teacher experiences
“I don’t have any gaming experience…. Yet my students understood the rules and concepts immediately. They explained to me how to participate as a teacher.
