/The challenge
Gwynedd Council's Welsh immersion programme wanted a way for learners to practise Welsh in real-life situations, tied to the curriculum they were already following in class.
/What we made
We built Aberwla, a virtual Welsh town where up to 30 learners, each with their own avatar, practise the language together through role play and games. It won Best EdTech Application at the Wales Technology Awards 2024 and is now looked after by ATXR, our VR training studio.

/The result
We have been blown away at the reaction the kids have had with the app so far!
