Title: Competition Launches Arabic Literacy Apps for War-Affected Syrian Children
Body:
Antura and the Letters and Feed the Monster, the two winners of the EduApp4Syria innovation competition, were announced today and then released worldwide as open-source Arabic literacy learning games. Both games are available for free download through Google Play and the App Store.
The EduApp4Syria competition was launched in January 2016 as a challenge to game developers and pedagogical experts around the world to create smartphone applications that can build foundational literacy skills in Arabic and improve psychosocial well-being for Syrian out-of-school children aged five to ten. Downloadable learning games such as these can be accessible to war-affected Syrian families, as smartphones are widely used.
Antura and the Letters (Google Play & App Store), developed by a consortium led by Cologne Game Lab, and Feed the Monster (Google Play & App Store), developed by a consortium led by Apps Factory, were selected from a field of 78 competitors from around the world by a jury of experts in game-based learning, literacy, psychosocial well-being, Syrian culture and Arabic language.
