Our aim is to develop progressive web apps for game based learning of topics related to Traditional knowledge systems.
Below we present my efforts in game based learning of Sanskrit.
Our five Sanskrit language based games are now part of Project "Shatam".
Project शतम् (https://zat.am/) is an open-source initiative dedicated to reimagining Sanskrit learning through the engaging medium of digital games, making Sanskrit education enjoyable and accessible. The project's goal is to develop 100+ resources across three categories: Teaching Aids, Recreational Games, and Edutainment Tools. This project draws inspiration from initiatives like MIT's Sugar Labs, striving to build an engaging ecosystem for Sanskrit learning. We aim to reposition Sanskrit as a vibrant, living language through innovative, playful, and collaborative digital experiences.
