Awesome learning is in our DNA!

Our mission is to make learning awesome for everyone. Knowing that our platform plays such an important role in people’s lives is our primary motivation.

And while our work at Kahoot! touches many parts of society, our greatest impact is helping make quality education accessible and engaging for learners everywhere. Here’s why.

Thanks to the Kahoot! platform itself and our group’s growing and diverse suite of learning apps, we’re in a prided position to contribute across the education spectrum from literacy (Poio) and numeracy (Dragonbox) to overcoming language barriers (Drops). Meanwhile, the bright minds who developed the virtual teaching app, Whiteboard, have placed participation at the centre of the tool so that all students have a voice, ‘even the shy ones’ as they say themselves. Together, these apps and platforms make learning more inclusive, and break down stubborn barriers that stymie learners globally in the pursuit of knowledge

The internet has proved to be a vital force in democratising access to information, but verifying the quality of that information isn’t always an easy task. Thanks to the talented, passionate, and committed educators who use Kahoot! we’ve built a millions-strong resource of verified, quality-assured kahoots that help millions of students learn daily around the globe.
