Overview

Company Does Not Provide H1B Sponsorship

Vooma creates educational games for primary school students, focusing on mathematics. Its flagship product, Guardians: Defenders of Mathematica, is a math game on the BBC Bitesize platform designed to help Key Stage 2 students practice and revise for SATs. The game teaches topics such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, and algebra by turning math practice into a battle to save the kingdom of Mathematica, making learning interactive and enjoyable. Compared with other educational games, Vooma collaborates with established platforms like the BBC to distribute its content, expanding reach without building its own standalone app ecosystem. The company's goal is to provide engaging, curriculum-aligned math practice for primary students while leveraging partnerships to reach a broad audience through trusted educational platforms.
