🎮 Gamification in Learning: A Dev’s Delight (and Beyond)!

Elon Musk hit the nail on the head in a recent interview — education needs a gamification boost! We’ve all seen amazing examples like Duolingo, but what about the IT world? 🤔

While prepping for my Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud Practitioner cert, I stumbled upon the awesome AWS Escape Room. Solving puzzles, answering exam-style questions, and tackling hands-on labs in a virtual escape room? Pure genius! ❤️ It was simple yet effective, making revision way more engaging.

Fast forward to my Solution Architect studies, and guess what I found while scrolling through Instagram? An AD for AWS Card Clash! 🃏 This card game, divided by certification level, challenges you to be the first to design an architecture using AWS service cards. Honestly, it’s the best educational game I’ve seen for our industry! 😍

But AWS doesn’t stop there! They’ve got AWS Quest and even industry-specific quests like AWS for Healthcare! 👨‍⚕️

Gamification is truly changing the game (pun intended) when it comes to learning. Have you come across any cool learning games in your field? Share them in the comments!
