Our take
Now Press Play provides immersive audio experiences for primary schools. Each child is supplied with a set of wireless headphones through which they become the main character in an adventure where they discover, learn and solve problems.
The company supplies a wide range of these audio adventures, which include things like a mission to Mars or journeying through the Ancient Egyptian Underworld. This enables schools to explore the curriculum in a way that engages children better, and makes for learning experiences they remember and enjoy.
With more thought going into how to best engage children at school, Now Press Play looks ready to help schools create a more exciting experience for young students. It is already used by over 600 primary schools and has won a number of awards for its approach.
