Summary
Shoelace Learning, founded by Julia Dexter in Halifax, addresses the literacy crisis in education by offering game-based learning solutions. With over 50% of high school students struggling with reading, Dexter developed the mobile games Dreamscape and Dreamseeker Drift to engage reluctant readers. These games adapt to students' reading levels, fostering motivation and improving comprehension. The platform’s adaptive learning and “Stealth” feature offer a stress-free environment, while teachers benefit from automation tools for personalized instruction. Shoelace Learning, which has reached 7 million users globally, aims to expand in Canada, with ongoing support from the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA).
