“Once upon a time there was a nation that stopped reading. The end.” vs. And they read happily ever after

We wish to find a solution to a national and world wide problem, kids are not reading enough! The amount of time the Finnish adolescents spend on reading has almost halved during the last 20 years. Another concerning message is that the gap between girls and boys has drastically widened.

Solution description

Scavenger hunt activities designed by our service and app that is better than the existing QR scavenger hunt generators online.

Teachers can save time from designing their own QR scavenger hunt clues but spend more time to get oral feedback with students.

Students can also create tangible products at the end of their reading sessions to actualize their imagination of the storyline.

Solution context

Transforming the typical classroom setting in reading sessions from flipping pages mindlessly to scavenger hunt like activities.

Solution target group

students from around the world aged 7 to 15

Solution impact

Students will collaborate with each other in the scavenger hunt activities and improve their social skills whilst reading.

They could also enjoy reading without the need of external motivations.

Solution innovativeness

Reinventing and combining existing applications. There are already existing technologies such as reading apps and 3D printers available, but our idea is to encourage kids to build reading habits from the very core, through fun activities.

Solution transferability

It could be done anywhere in the classroom, with a set of prescribed instructions.

Solution sustainability

Collaboration with schools is necessary, but the materials can be reused every year.

Solution team work

We are all pedagoical majors so we shared a lot of our experiences in classroom teaching, and worked really well in putting the slides and presentations together in a timely manner.
