When the learning is part of the process and not the end goal you’re likely to keep kids engaged for longer.

I think about my own children playing educational games for school and how absolutely bored they are without a clear (or perhaps because it’s an uninspiring) call for action.

Learning should be enacted through the mechanics but the drive should be the greater purpose.
