Kendir Studios

AboutVila Nova de Gaia · since 2021

Who we are, what we do.

Kendir Studios is a design, technology and learning content studio. We conceive, produce and validate games, platforms and digital resources for public institutions such as EduQA, I.P. and Banco de Portugal.

Who we are

A multidisciplinary team, organised in squads.

Each squad brings together research, design, art, engineering and production management. Every project gets a complete team, accountable from start to finish, and a single point of contact for the client.

We work with universities, specialists and scientific experts to validate content and methods, and with technology partners in consortia when the scale requires it.

What we believe

Three ideas behind every project.

  1. Immersion

    Learning should feel like arriving somewhere.

    We give context, visual relationships and momentum. A motivated, immersed learner learns more and for longer.

  2. Foundations

    Every solution has to work in the field.

    We start from the rules, the curriculum and the real time people have. If it does not make the work easier, it is not ready.

  3. Impact

    We see everything through.

    Research, design, art, code and validation in one team, with the rigour a public programme demands.
