TORONTO - August 30, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Secret Pirates Entertainment Inc., creators of Lumiii franchise, announces that it has won the 2022 World Edtech Startup Challenge, hosted by UCL EdTech Labs in collaboration with Global Disability Innovation Hub and supported by Santander Universities. On August 9, Lumiii was recognized among eight other finalists and awarded the grand prize, including cash, for its new and engaging approach to convergence education.

"As an entertainment brand, the Lumiii team and I are incredibly honored by this recognition from the global EdTech community," said Ali Badshah, CEO and Co-Founder of Secret Pirates and the creator of Lumiii. "There is still plenty to do, and I hope our continued work in convergence and our vision for accessible entertainment, technology, finance, and education will leave a lasting global impact on lives for the better."

Honorees were judged based on how well the project aligns with UCL Edtech Labs' mission to improve education for all. Other finalists include bitmark, Education AI, Craft Education, Hunu Teletherapy, iSchool, Numberfit, Sophia Technologies Limited, and 4thewords.

"Ali and the LumiiiAcademy team should be immensely proud of having won, given this year's startups were so strong and equally as inspiring," said Houtan Froushan, Programme Director at UCL EdTech Labs. "Beating an international field of EdTech, from all areas of learning and teaching goes to show how much promise Lumiii has. We look forward to seeing them grow as the inaugural World Edtech Startup Challenge winners."

According to Bruce Rodrigues, Deputy Minister of the Ontario Ministry of Education and keynote speaker for the event, "Lumiii is redefining what 'school' can be for future generations through their innovative use of interactive storytelling, gamification, and technology.
