Finnish reality, not American dream for India's schools: Peter Vesterbacka

The Angry Birds icon says a key concern in India has been to deploy enough quality teachers; making the profession more sought out will certainly help

When he's not proposing to build an $18 billion undersea tunnel between Finland's capital Helsinki and Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, Peter Vesterbacka, who rose to fame for turning the mobile game Angry Birds into one of the most recognisable franchises on the planet, is an advocate for better education.

Vesterbacka's new project, Big Bang Legends, is an app that aims to teach kids as young as five particle physics using gamification in a way they wouldn't even know they're learning it. To do this, his firm Lightneer has roped in educators from Oxford University and even Scientists from CERN.
