Building the future of learning Finnish
Lieke is a word with taste of electricity, fire, and potentiality. The word was suggested as the word for electricity by Elias Lonnrot in the 19th century when Finnish language was still being created. Like electricity was new technology then, so are our solutions today.
Our language learning applications combine gamification elements, geolocation and social media in new and interesting ways. We aim to activate our players and encourage them to interact with their surroundings. At the same time teachers can design and customize their own games and see how the students are progressing.
About 6 % of people in Finland are immigrants. People move to Finland e.g. to study, to work or because of family reasons. Integration into a new country may be a challenging process.
We want to help language learners and teachers by making language learning fun. We want to take learnig outside of class rooms. With our games and apps language learning happens in places where it is used.

But we have to admit: we had tough competitors - Founder of Rovio, professors and academics. Follow the competition at: Ratkaisu 100 website and Sitra website
