Our Discovery | Our Innovation | Our Impact

How might we get primary school pupils to their optimal zone of learning?

Our Discovery

Concerned and caring teachers, who notice that their students can be overly energetic or are particularly lethargic at different times of the day, need a way to regulate their students’ energy levels so that they are able to focus better. -----------------

Our Innovation

Brain Boost Time (BBT) is a tool for primary school teachers to use in class to get their pupils to the optimal zone of learning, especially when the pupils are clearly lethargic or extra fidgety. Brain Boost Time offers physical, cognitive, and affective break-time activities such as:

• Physical Energisers (with fast, slow, or mixed speeds) through animated 3D models of animals with evidence-based aerobic or coordinative actions
• Brain Teasers with simple thinking activities
• Curated videos and audio for mindfulness

Our Impact

We noticed that after using BBT, quieter students (silent sufferers included) were more responsive and participative and students who were usually disruptive or distracted were on task for longer and were evidently less fidgety too. The 5 positive changes we noticed in students during our observations include:

• Less fidgeting and disruptions (or longer time-on-task)
• Fewer heads on the table or propped up on hands
• Faster response time from students
• More participative in class discussions
• Increased engagement and enjoyment in the learning process
