Inspiration

Children with dyslexia often struggle with traditional learning methods. I wanted to create a gamified platform that makes learning more accessible, engaging, and confidence-building. The idea was inspired by accessibility-first design principles and the need for inclusive educational tools.

What it does

Lexia is a gamified learning platform built in Godot Engine. It uses accessibility-first mechanics—such as clear typography, adaptive difficulty, and visual/audio cues—to help children with dyslexia practice reading and comprehension in a fun, interactive way.

How we built it

• Engine: Godot (2D game framework)
• Accessibility-first design: Dyslexia-friendly fonts, color contrast, and adaptive feedback
• Gameplay: Mini-games focused on word recognition, spelling, and comprehension
• Repository: GitHub Project

Challenges we ran into

• Designing mechanics that are genuinely helpful without overwhelming learners
• Balancing fun gameplay with educational value
• Ensuring accessibility features worked consistently across devices
• Time constraints in building and testing multiple prototypes

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Built a working prototype that demonstrates accessibility-first learning mechanics
• Created a gamified experience that children can enjoy while improving reading skills
• Learned how to integrate accessibility principles into game design
• Published open-source code for others to build upon

What we learned

• The importance of accessibility in educational software
• How to use Godot Engine effectively for rapid prototyping
• Balancing UX depth with simplicity for young learners
• The value of community feedback in refining ideas

What's next for Lexia - Dyslexia Gamification

• Expand mini-games to cover more reading and comprehension exercises
• Add adaptive learning paths based on player progress
• Collaborate with educators and accessibility experts for validation
• Deploy a web for broader reach
