Empowering Educators with AI: Goosechase and DIGITAL Partner for the Future of Interactive Experiences
The Californer/10290773

TORONTO - Californer -- Goosechase, the world's first interactive experience platform, is excited to announce a $250,000 CAD co-investment from DIGITAL, Canada's Global Innovation Cluster for digital technologies, to develop an AI Agent that will transform how teachers create educational content. This initiative addresses a universal challenge faced by educators: the significant effort required to produce and standardize engaging, interactive content for students.

Interactive experiences—activities that engage students through participation, problem-solving, and collaboration—are becoming increasingly vital in education. They deepen understanding, boost retention, and make learning more enjoyable. However, creating such content is time-consuming and resource-intensive, which often leads to creator fatigue and limits the potential of educational technology.

Teachers often express how difficult it is to find the time and resources to create high-quality interactive experiences. And this isn't just an issue in K-12 and higher education—it's a challenge across sectors, including non-profits and businesses, where interactive content plays a key role in engagement and learning.
