We bring the tech.
You bring the kids.
Over half the kids in your class would rather be playing video games right now. That’s not a classroom problem. That’s a door.
Innovation Playground is how we walk through it together. We meet them where they are — by bringing games, game development, and hands-on tech experience directly into schools.
Real tech. Real games. Real classrooms.
There’s no single program here, no checklist to hit before you qualify. We work with whatever a school needs and build from there. Technology and equipment aren’t a barrier — if a program needs hardware to make it work, we can bring that too.
What that looks like depends on the school:
Play
Put proven educational games directly into your classroom, ready to use. Mission HydroSci teaches water science. Other titles cover health, behavior, and workforce skills. Your students just play.
Build
Set up a game development club or after-school program from scratch. Students learn what it actually takes to make a game: the math, the art, the design decisions, the code.
Research
Invite students into the research process as junior designers, engineers, and testers. Right now that includes [Gaze Casting], where we mail eye-tracking hardware directly to classrooms.
Learn
Bring an Adroit team member in to talk to students about careers in games, technology, art, and design. It’s the kind of conversation most kids never get to have.
Dream
Have an idea for something your students need that doesn’t exist yet? Tell us. That’s exactly how some of our best programs got started.
Opening doors to games, tech, and what comes next.
Any school. Any level. Any age. Innovation Playground is open to any district, anywhere — not just Missouri.
We’re a formal Partner in Education with Columbia Public Schools, a relationship we’re proud of. We’re ready to build that same kind of partnership with any district that wants it.
You don’t need a fully formed proposal.
You don’t even need an idea — we’re full of those. But if you have one — a game you want your students to play, a program you want to build, or just a feeling that your kids would love this — email us. We’ll figure out the rest together.
