Gatópolis is an adaptive learning educational game designed to help educators teach reading and writing to young students by encouraging reflection over the typical trial-and-error exercises. IDEO worked closely with educators to develop a diagnostic algorithm that identifies patterns in the mistakes a child makes in a Gatópolis game. The app instantly measures every student’s level of proficiency, adapts games accordingly, and gives teachers suggestions for grouping students by level, as well as activities that are appropriate for each group.
