The World Education Games (WEG) is a Global Online Event for all schools and students around the world and is held semi annually during the month of October. It is the expanded format of what was once known as World Maths Day but it now includes World Literacy Day and World Science Day too. It is organized by the 3PLearning and sponsored by Microsoft, UNICEF, 3P Learning〔 and MACQUARIE. The World Maths Day holds the 'Guinness World Record' for the Largest Online Maths Competition in 2010. Its Global Ambassador is 'Scott Flansburg' aka the ''Human Calculator''''.'' Its inception with the expanded format was in 2012 when 5,960,862 students from 240 countries and territories around the world competed with each other. In 2013, it was held March 5–7. The World Education Games had taken place October 13 through 15, 2015, where over 6 Million students joined worldwide from over 20,000 schools in 159 countries and raised over $100,000 which will help send 33,000 students to school. ==History== The World Education Games is a major free online educational competition-style event, hosted by the global e-learning provider 3P Learning (creators of subscription-based e-learning platforms designed primarily for schools - such as Mathletics, Spellodrome and IntoScience). The World Education Games (or WEG) had its origins purely as a mathematics-based event, then known as World Maths Day in 2007. The event was powered by 3P Learning's flagship online learning resource, Mathletics. In 2011, the event expanded to include a second subject (World Spelling Day, renamed World Literacy Day in 2013), followed a year later by a third subject (World Science Day) and at which point the event took on the fully encompassing World Education Games name and branding. Since 2012 The World Education Games has been collaborating with UNICEF in the framework of a program called "School in a Box" that supports the development of education in regions that are affected by various disasters and poverty. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「World Education Games」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
