Download the Flyer (2.4MB, PDF)

Kahootz 3.0 allows students to create, explore and invent in 3D. Children aged 7-15 can easily create 3D scenes combining Kahootz characters, animals and buildings with enhanced animation, soundtracks and special effects. Kahootz 3.0 will provide both primary and secondary schools with more enhanced functions that would enable a greater level of engagement for a broader age-range of students.

With a range of exciting new features Kahootz 3.0 provides students with even more ways to create amazing stories, inventions, habitats, games, movies and soundtracks.

The key benefits would include:

  • The introduction of authoring action variables will significantly advance the possibilities of Kahootz as a game-making tool and provide a far greater level of interactivity. This will enhance its potential in the areas of Mathematics, Science and ICT.
  • The increased cultural diversity of the Kahootz 3D library of Objects will provide LOTE and SOSE teachers with greater opportunities to integrate Kahootz into the curriculum.
  • Addition of a greater range of historical Objects will allow students to recreate more History related scenarios. A greater range of food and health related Objects will also allow students to create various Health and SOSE related scenarios.
  • The ability to record a student's voice directly into Kahootz 3.0 and import various language sound files will enhance its use substantially in the LOTE area.
  • The ability for students in English activities to record their own narrative to match the actions of the Kahootz characters.
  • The ability for students to create and control 3D natural effects such as rain, snow, water, fire, and electricity will enhance its use in the Science, Environmental and SOSE areas.

Key Educational Outcomes:

  • Enhances creativity and encourages problem solving.
  • Engages students to demonstrate their learning in 3D.
  • Stimulates interactive game-making possibilities.
  • Enables students to record, import and create personalised soundtracks.
