Summary
Dr. Flavia H. Santos, cognitive neuroscientist at UCD, led the Erasmus+ ENIGMA project in partnership with Headstart Technology to explore how games can enhance mathematics education. With €60,000 in funding, the project developed two key tools: an online teacher training course on educational neuroscience and a game-rating tool, PRIME, to help educators evaluate and choose effective games. Emphasizing responsible technology use, ENIGMA aims to empower teachers to make informed decisions about gamification. The project also involved extensive collaboration with educators and game developers, aiming to transform math learning into an engaging experience through well-designed, research-based digital games.
