Soqqle wins Government Sponsored Grant to Make Learning Fun.
Industrial 4.0 will lead to job losses. The Soqqle Platform aims to fight it.
[10 Mar 2017, Singapore] Soqqle (the Future of Work Company) has won a government sponsored grant to pilot a platform that gamifies learning to make it purposeful. The technology aims to help people identify their passion faster and smarter, with a goal that spirals youths into the upcoming industrial 4.0 revolution.
Powered by Blockchain, the platform uses tokens to push people to take steps into driving their growth. Through months of research into Behavioral Economics and Game Theory, a game design was derived and tested internally with users to come up with a model planned to promote regular learning which leads to greater personal growth.
“We spoke to hundreds of our target audience to try to learn gamification models that could change how people make their decisions. The goal is really to drive productivity so that people could learn better and faster to remain relevant for the future of work.” says Daniel Shen, Founder of Soqqle.
The team is strongly powered by the Gig Economy to prove the impact of the Future of Work. The team of developers, designers, lawyers and more, work in different locations from Singapore, Hong Kong, to India, and Ukraine. With a team structure that is ‘decentralized’, decisions are made through weekly conference calls through project management milestones led by Daniel.
It took months to pitch and obtain the grant. Daniel had to pitch multiple panels made up of directors in education institutions. As Blockchain is a new concept in most industries, additional focus was needed to articulate usage of the technology to increase engagement with youths.
Winning the grant lines up opportunities to partner for pilots within the education segment. Furthermore, with the Grant, the team is able to expand the Gig Economy further to add tokenization features, more collaboration features, and also to add further content into the platform.
About Soqqle: Soqqle is a “future of work” company to help youths prepare for industrial 4.0 by making learning fun and purposeful. We do this through a tokenized gamification model and record achievements on the blockchain.
