So one way that people don't really realize is that whenever gamers, a language that a lot of young people already know is working towards something, leveling up as they call it.

And so that's exactly how I like to use it in my education system or even just as a personal mentor.

or kind of just growing and just say, hey, you know, you work towards something like in a game, why don't you work towards something in life?

You know, getting towards the steps to do there, getting skills, you know, no matter what kind of game it is that you're practicing, a lot of things in life are like that as well.

And that's exactly the kind of metaphor analogy that I like to use and say, hey, use this as you're progressing, use it in a way that you're really not only enjoying it, but gamifying it and then also making progress, right?

And so that's how I really like to tie it in with the aspect of games, because it makes people, you know, kind of take it down a little, relax a little bit and be like, hey, you know, whatever reason that I'm doing this, I'm, you know, gamifying it and making it something that I enjoy.

And I definitely think that people are able to have more passion or drive whenever they approach it that way.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So you're exactly right with the hand-eye coordination.

And so it's a matter of, you know, turning it into...

For example, there's like a project that we are actively working on where it could just be seen as regular modern day solution where, you know, you're kind of keeping track of how many people are going to a certain area, right?

That's doesn't seem like a big thing.

It doesn't seem like much, but if you turn it into gamifying,

make it into something that people say, Hey, this seems like a fun thing to do.

Even if it's indirectly related, even if it doesn't seem like it has anything to do with it at all, it's using today's modern technology to really be able and say, Hey, this is a fun concept that, you know, people are already doing.

Let's make it into something that they're trying to achieve, give them achievements, give them accomplishments, give them goals to go towards.

And that's just one aspect as well as, you know, with my, my programming classes and with the things that I teach,

I'm actually actively working on fundamental courses for programming where it's actually more of a video game based so that people, since there are already gamers who like to do coding, it kind of goes hand in hand together where not only are you learning to code.

But you're also gaming and it kind of just ties in together.

So it's that blend that really attracts people to being, hey, this is technology.
