Gamification Workshop

Gamification is a process that helps you create interesting, interactive and fun content from the mundane by adding game-inspired elements. The best part about gamification is that it can be applied to many aspects of life, the fields of business, marketing and education being just a few examples.

This Tallinn Summer School course is about designing a gamified product or service. Adding game elements to your content gives you a chance to widen your engagement and attract a wider audience.
