A youth programme that turns games, programming, and esports into a real curriculum. Built around safe play, hands-on STEM, and culture you can travel for.
01What GAKU is
GAKU is a youth education programme that runs out of Singapore and Japan. We use esports, video games, and programming as the spine of a structured curriculum that schools, cities, and partners can host. The promise is the same in every room: educate the student, elevate the skill, empower what comes next.
Three programmes. In-person delivery. Working with schools and partners since 2023.
02Three programmes
Every programme is delivered in person. Every programme has a real outcome the student leaves with. Every programme can be run inside a school, a city, or a partner venue.
01
Safe play, ages five to eighteen.
A one-day programme that turns competitive games into a structured class. Students rotate through cyber wellness, nutrition, mental and physical conditioning, and a tournament finale. Designed for schools and education partners that want esports to feel safe, monitored, and useful for the student.
02
Game logic as a way into STEM.
A SEGA-licensed Puyo Puyo course where students write the logic that makes the game work. Difficulty adjusts to the room, so the same programme can run as a two-hour introduction or a longer course of up to 50 hours. The classroom result is concrete: working game logic, completion certificates, student screenshots, and a clear line between the puzzle on the screen and the roles inside the game industry.
03
Three to seven days, locally or abroad.
An immersive bootcamp for senior students. Esports athleticism, professional exposure, networking, and cultural exchange in the host city. Designed with universities, federations, and esports venues so the cohort leaves with new training habits, new industry contacts, and a cultural experience that sits beside the gameplay.
