Summary

British EdTech startup Brainspark Games has secured a rare triple investment on Dragons’ Den, winning £10,000 each from Sara Davies, Deborah Meaden and Touker Suleyman. Founded by Reedah El Saie, the company develops AI-driven educational games and is creating the UK’s first climate-focused GCSE game, aligned with the Department for Education’s Natural Sciences curriculum. Built with researchers from leading universities and supported by Innovate UK, the game promotes climate literacy through virtual missions and real-world challenges. Brainspark focuses on inclusive, neurodiverse-friendly learning. With 35% of children disengaged yet 91% playing games, it aims to transform education through gameplay.
