“When Learning Meets Games: Gamification in STEAM”
‘Gamification’ is a fancy word that has been largely used in the education and learning sector for many years. The definition of gamification is the use of game-design elements and game principles in non-game contexts, such as HR training programs, marketing campaigns, and educational videos for adults and children, etc.

The number of graduates in the fields of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) will be even greatly expected in the near future. Therefore, gamifying the process of learning in order to make it more interesting and enjoyable shall be the way we take to motivate students’ learning and involvement.

The gamification theory in education is that learners learn best when they are also having fun. Additionally, they also learn best when they have goals, targets, and achievements to reach for. In short, it makes the hard stuff more fun, helping to empower students and make them more engaged with the subject matter. Not only does gamified learning encourage Gen Z students to feel as if they control their own destinies, but it also encourages them to try again after failing.
