SparkForge aligns its 11 labs and 47 games to the UNESCO AI Competency Framework for Students — the international reference for what young people should understand, apply, and create with AI. Below is an honest map of which games build which competency.

SparkForge is independently built and aligns to the framework as a guide. It is not endorsed, certified, or accredited by UNESCO.
Foundational awareness
Use and evaluate in context
Design, build, critically shape
AI serves people. Human agency, judgment, and oversight always stay in charge.
Notice where AI already lives in everyday life and see that people — not machines — decide what AI is for.
Decide when to trust AI and when to rely on a human, and recognise when an app is nudging you.
Imagine and sketch AI that genuinely helps people, weighing its effect on real communities.
Fairness, privacy, transparency, accountability, and safety when AI makes or shapes decisions.
Learn what personal data is worth protecting and how to tell real media from AI fakes and scams.
Weigh fairness and bias in AI decisions and argue both sides of a real ethical dilemma.
Build accountability in: open up an AI to inspect its reasoning and add safety rails around it.
How AI systems actually work — data, models, and algorithms — and where they get used.
See the moving parts under the hood: neurons, pixels, and the tokens that language models read.
Train, tune, and test a model in context — from teaching a pet to reading a sentence’s mood.
Assemble your own working AI: label data to build a classifier, wire a chatbot, curate its memory.
Scoping a problem, then building, testing, and iterating on an AI solution — including agents.
Learn how AI programs are put together, from code blocks to prompts and step-by-step reasoning.
Drive real AI systems: call an API, give an agent new tools, and verify the code AI writes for you.
Design and ship an end-to-end AI: build your first app and orchestrate a team of cooperating agents.
We map only real, playable games to each competency — and where our coverage is still thin, we say so plainly rather than overstate it. A single game can build more than one competency, so some appear in more than one cell.
