From ED Games Expo to ED Games Track

The ED Games Track builds on the legacy of the ED Games Expo, which showcased research-based education games and tools from 2013 to 2023.

Its next chapter expands that community, bringing together innovations from startups, researchers, universities, nonprofits, and schools in the U.S. and around the world, with a focus on solutions that can support learners in under-resourced contexts.

The Track welcomes both tech and non-tech innovations, from learning games and AI tools to project-based programs, inclusive solutions, board games, and other approaches designed to improve teaching and learning.
