Open position:

Lead Instructional Designer

Full-time position in Lund, Sweden.

Do you think that game design and technology could have made math teaching more efficient and exciting compared to the old, dusty and doggy-eared math books? We do, and we find it frustrating to see that math teaching hasn’t evolved much in the past decades. Childhood should be fantastic, even in the classroom, and those memories should last a lifetime. That is the sole purpose we founded Akribian.

We are developing a story-driven learning adventure called Count on me! where the child takes the role of a hero – a young mathemagician – who is sent on an important mission to restore order in the realm of Numberia. The key to mathemagical powers? Learning and mastering maths!

Are you an instructional designer and find yourself intrigued by this project, you might be just the person we are eagerly looking for!
