The United Arab Emirates (UAE) stands as a leading crypto-adaptive nation on the global map.
It has friendly tax laws and a developed crypto ecosystem as well. Recently, the Repton Family of Schools in the UAE has pioneered a transformative approach to crypto education, cleverly fusing learning, technology, and philanthropy. The Repton Family of Schools in the UAE, under the stewardship of Excella, encompasses three esteemed institutions: Repton School Dubai, Repton School Abu Dhabi, and Repton Al Barsha. They have joined forces with Philcoin, a visionary philanthropy platform that utilizes blockchain technology for social good.
A Revolutionary Gamified Learning Journey
The collaboration between the Repton Family of Schools and Philcoin has given a twist to the traditional house point system used by Repton Schools: introducing a crypto-rewards system.
This element of gamification instills a fiercer competitive spirit and amplifies the zeal of every school event. It’s not just about winning; it’s about earning and understanding the value of cryptocurrency.
Students are grouped into distinct houses, When those houses compete in school activities like sports, debates, or other events where you can win, they don’t just earn their regular points. They also get cryptocurrency as a reward. For each house point a Repton student earns, a corresponding Philcoin token (PHL) will be credited. These tokens, held in house wallets, symbolize various achievements, whether they are academic milestones, good behavior, or special recognitions. This new way of giving rewards makes students more eager to compete. It’s not only about winning the competition but also about getting and understanding the cryptocurrency.
By the academic year’s end, the total house points earned will match an equal number of PHL tokens. Students can choose to give their rewards to charity, which strengthens their understanding of kindness and the importance of giving to others
The Broader Spectrum of Learning
Besides developing a passion for charity, which helps them become greater humans, students also gain a better understanding of cryptocurrency. It is essential to understand the technology they are using so that the learning effort realizes its full potential.
That’s why Philcoin will conduct regular, detailed sessions around cryptocurrency fundamentals, the underlying technology, the benefits, challenges, its social impact and latest developments.This strategic alliance positions the Repton Family of Schools at the forefront of practical financial and tech-centric education, which will help the UAE set standards for the world.
Philcoin’s Magnanimous Contribution
Each coin earned by the school houses will be matched by Philcoin in a 1:1 ratio. The winning house will get twice the amount of PHL tokens they have earned throughout the academic year. An incentive of 100% can definitely skyrocket the spirit of the students.
But Philcoin’s generosity doesn’t stop there. An additional AED 10,000 will be donated to a humanitarian project in honor of the winning house. The combined efforts of students, teachers, advisors, and Philcoin help someone, somewhere, bringing hope. These contributions support education, strengthen communities, improve financial security, and help in many other ways
In Conclusion
The benefit of gamified learning helps students become more engaged, more interested and retain their knowledge for a longer period of time. When combined with real money as rewards and a charitable component, students aren’t just learning; they’re evolving into more compassionate and responsible global citizens. In a world increasingly influenced by cryptocurrency, Web3 and blockchain technology, nurturing such well-rounded individuals is important.
