Chicago Adopts Gaming for After School Math Programs

The program has been deployed at four sites in the district, including Eli Whitney Elementary, Logandale Elementary, Marsh Elementary, and Waters Elementary. This is, according to Tabula Digita, the first step in a broader rollout. This spring, the company said, Chicago students will face off against students in New York in a multi-player tournament.

Tabula software supports Mac OS X and Windows systems. District, site, and classroom licenses are available.

Chicago Public Schools, the third-largest district in the United States, serves more than 400,000 students in more than 600 schools.
