What is Bett London?
The abbreviation Bett stands for British Educational Training and Technology. It is one of the largest educational and technological events in the world. Bett brings together teachers, educators, and brands providing solutions in the field of modern education (EdTech) from around the world. Exhibitors present products and services that respond to today’s educational challenges.
Bett London’s mission is to modernise teaching around the world. This mission is carried out by the organisers and exhibitors through the presentation of modern tools that can be used, among others, by educational institutions. The exhibitors included the New Technology Division of the Institute of National Remembrance, which presented its gaming and educational project “Aviators – War in the Skies”.
Why premiere at Bett London?
Bett London is a prestigious event attended by teachers and educators, startups and global technology giants. The participation of the IPN’s New Technology Division and the presentation and premiere of “Aviators” at Brett London prove that the activities of the IPN’s New Technology Division in the field of modern education are being developed on a global scale. This is an opportunity to present the achievements of Polish pilots to the world and a symbolic reference to the game in which main characters are aviators who fought in divisions established in Great Britain during World War II, defending, among others, London against German aggression.
Thanks to the fact that, on 24 January, the latest game of the New Technology Division was presented in London, it has gained international fame and reaches young people and teachers around the world with its mission, becoming an international educational solution.
Director of the New Technology Division of the Institute of National Remembrance, Magdalena Hajduk, emphasised the importance of the world premiere by saying:

“Aviators” is the latest educational gaming project of the New Technology Division
“Aviators – War in the Skies” is a game presenting real characters and achievements of Polish airmen serving in the air during World War II. The production combines dexterity-increasing elements and logical puzzles. The game has a journal module, which contains a compendium of historical knowledge referred to in “Aviators”.
The game has been translated into 12 languages, including two sign languages. This makes it accessible to players from different countries. Based on the game, lesson plans were created that discuss the context of the events presented in the game, the course of battles and their consequences. In addition, there is a quiz to check your knowledge of the lesson. Both the lesson plans and the quiz have been translated into English.
