Game-Based Learning – Awards and Rewards

Serdar Acar is the founder of Dinolingo, the language-learning program for children that he launched on May 1, 2010. Turkish-born and based in New York City, he started Dinolingo after a long, frustrating search for an age-appropriate, engaging way to teach his own child a second language. Drawing on his background in television production, he brought together teachers, translators, language experts, artists, and musicians to build an entertaining curriculum for young learners. Today Dinolingo teaches children ages 2 to 14 in more than 50 languages, and Serdar continues to lead the company alongside his wife, Annique.
