Selection of Game Developers:

1.            Identify the game development companies, who already have portfolio of games in the market.

2.            As a second preference, we can also work with companies who may not be currently developing games and may only be doing it as an on-shore or off shore company for international market. However, these companies should make business, financial and market commitments to set up facilities, team and infrastructure for a specified country or regional market with demonstrated commitment.

3.            As the third preference, we can also work with companies, who are not in the game development business, but are willing to make financial, organizational, team and organizational commitment to develop games for a given market

Analysis and Selection of Games:

1.            We will review the portfolio of the games with the game development companies

The age group is from 5 through 13, corresponding to grades 1 through 7. With in this age and grade group, we plan to form subgroups with following example: Grades 1 and 2; Grades 3 and 4; Grades 5 and 6; Grade 7 - Totally 4 subgroups

3.            Depending on the game company, and their portfolio, we may select percentage for embedding educational content.

4.            We will enter into an agreement with the game company and license the selected games.

5.            We will collaborate with game company and its game development team to show them ways to embed the educational contents into the different games. The actual coding will be done by the game company team, and NOT by us. We do NOT take over their game development work.

6.            Each education embedded game will be independently tested, verified and certified by a pool of pedagogy experts.

7.            We will take responsibility to market the education embedded games and give a revenue share to the game company. The actual share may vary depending on the actual game, its total active life in the market (each game will have different active life, as new games come into the market).

8.            We may advise the game company on effectively designing the games for their respective educational efficacy. Our unique methodology will always impart educational value to students / kids and increase their scores in standardized tests.

Education must be Fun. Kids should be eager about education, as they are eager about having fun. If it is fun, as playing a game is for the growing kid, education automatically happens. Once we are born, we all learn most of what we know through fun activities. It is very natural for a kid to play. It is also very natural for a kid to also learn while playing. We bring back the fun in kids life. We bring fun in education, by making education no different and indistinguishable from playing. Even the animals learn playing.

Have you noticed a kid and seen that the kid is intensely engrossed while playing? The kid is very focused while playing. Focus and concentration is the key to not only learning, and it is also for remembering. 

The kid is in an excited state of mind and body while playing. That is when the whole mind - body experience happens. That is when the kid is perfectly ready to absorb all information faster than a sponge.

If education is mixed in the perfect proportion with fun of playing games, the kid is in the perfect state of mind to learn; it is in a perfect mind to remember that is learned. 

The kid does not have to sacrifice and sweat; the kid does not need to be forced or disciplined. The kid needs no more motivation than fun of playing games.

Our fun video games are entertaining. They are interactive. Interactive fun is inviting to the kid. We magically make the fun of video games also educating at the same time.

Learning basic concepts is a very important foundation for learning for kids. Once the basic concepts are well understood, the kid is ready and able to learn more and more details of the subject. Our games lay the concept foundation and start building additional "educational bites" one at a time, into a strong knowledge foundation.

If games are considered addiction by the society, we make that addiction a hunger for knowledge. The more the kid learns, and learns well with solid foundation, the kid is ready for even more knowledge. We want to empower Indian kids through innate and genuine hunger for knowledge.

Smart Kids R US games are not only interactive between the kids and our games, we make then socially interactive, and interactive playing for the kids between each other. We encourage them to share their joy of learning with their friends. We make the act of sharing itself joyful. We make the kids to feel proud of their knowledge, and the enhance the pride of sharing with their friends. It is important for all of us, especially parents, to recall and remember that we all reinforced our knowledge through telling, teaching, and sharing with others. When our friends asked us for clarification, or simply asked a question or even when challenged us, we had to think again and be sure that we understood it well. This process made the explaining and learning minds to both grow at the same time.

Sharing is social. The process of sharing builds and reinforces the bond of friendship. It also strengthens both souls. Social bonds are the foundation for a healthy community or any and all parts of the society. The social bonds are important at neighborhood level, school level and at a larger societal level. It lays the foundation for a great nation. We all want to build a great nation, and a great nation for our kids, who are the future citizens of the country.

Let us empower our future citizens through strong education, knowledge, societal foundation and empower them to be effective leaders.
