Former high school history teacher Chad Wilson is revolutionizing education with ImmersionED, creating immersive video games that bring historical events to life. After hearing "history is boring" one too many times, Chad built realistic learning games where students experience colonial Boston, analyze different perspectives, and develop critical thinking skills.
The results? 94% of surveyed schools want to use their games, and students find them 40% more engaging than traditional coursework. With 35,000 schools now having access through their partnership, ImmersionED is proving that learning can be both fun and effective.
But the investors had concerns about scalability, content creation costs, and the challenges of selling into the education market. Will Chad's passion for making history come alive be enough to secure funding?
