You never have to pay to learn or prove you want to learn with Steemit Gaming (SG).  Steemit Gaming (SG) is an integrated on and offline education system that gamifies the education and knowledge process.

### That's right education and learning is now a game.  No more boring lectures, paying SBD or other currencies to learn, and definitely way more fun than reading a textbook.

SG has been in the works in a different form for at least four (4) years now.  It has always been free, always been a game, but we just haven't had a platform yet to introduce this concept for **real, positive change.**

#### Steemit has made commenting, curating, and creating content more mainstream sooner than we thought.  So it is time to release the education system of the future new world here now.  Greatness adapts and so are we.  

So Steemians if you already enjoy the foundations of this amazing platform, you are already set up for successful with Steemit Gaming.

**SG's lessons are called games; grade levels are levels, and grades are called points.**

Accumulate points through games at your own pace (no rush with SG, learn at your own pace).

Points accumulate over time through daily, weekly, monthly, and semester games.

The better you do at these games, the higher level you progress to.

It's all basically a knowledge video game without any cords, any cost to enter.

### SG is always free and always fun.

SG's Business Game 1.0 is the first College offering games to help you learn.  The first semester's courses will include games on finance, influencing (marketing), sales management, accounting, entrepreneurship, among others.

One of the semester long games this first semester for the Business Game 1.0 is a create-your-own business plan game.  This game allows Steemians to learn how to build a business plan totally free and use the knowledge to apply it to an actually business plan that can be funded.

Yes, that's right SG's Business Game 1.0 will fund one business plan created during this first semester as another way to take Steemians's business game to the next level.

## So how do we learn?

Simple, just do what you do now on Steemit already.  Comment, curate, and create content.

### Creating content during SG's first semester's games will be rewarded like a typical Steemit post does know.  A Quick Question will be posted and the resulting related content creating by SG's gamers will be ranked accordingly to performance just like a game.

### Curating articles already created by the Steemit community that answer the posted Quick Question the best will also be another dimension to SG's learning game.  SG's gamers react to the Quick Question topic with the best article they can find on the topic already created on the Steemit platform.  They resteem it and when that game is finished, the best responses are rankled and given the corresponding points.

### Commenting on SG game posts will also result in points for the gamers.  A game will be described in the post and the comment in response to the proposed game are ranked and points distributed accordingly.


See how easy it is to win with SG.  Just create, curate, and comment like you already do.


## Grading, what about grading?

Nope not at SG.  Since we a bunch of gamers (not students) and not a school so no need for grades.
