Educational games already exist in schools. Designed by educationalists they turn the curriculum into fun learning. But they could be greatly improved to entice children to play them out of school. This would help in the essential practice that leads to a higher retention in learning, and why homework is set.
The obvious skill of the games designer, harnessed to develop educational games and puzzles with street cred would attrack a whole generation of children who would get real benefit from playing the games and "learning in disguise."
Another hidden benefit - children learn a lot from each other. Help with homework and practice in school work would take on an exciting new dimension.
