The following is an excerpt from an article posted on the DimensionU (formerly Tabula Digita) website:
"Etuk started the company three years ago with co-founder Robert Clegg, an award-winning electronic game designer."
"Tabula Digita's first product, Dimenxian, is a first-person story-driven game that leads students through an action adventure environment while learning foundational algebraic concepts."
"We're losing a whole generation of kids to educational teaching methods that don't resonate with them," says Etuk. "I want to give kids the option to do whatever they want to do. I believe that by grabbing their attention and redirecting it to education, you can open up a whole world of options they might not have considered."
