How Makinika Works

Home & My HQ

When you sign in you land on a personalised home that shows your streak, mCoins and points. "My HQ" is your dashboard — it adapts to your role, whether you're a student, teacher, parent or admin.

Subjects & Quests

Pick your grade and a subject, then progress through levels of quizzes we call quests. Each level you pass earns Points and mCoins, and unlocks the next stop on your Learning Journey map.

• Choose grade and subject
• Beat quiz levels to earn rewards
• Unlock the next level as you go

Nika AI Tutor

Nika is your 24/7 AI learning companion. Ask any CBC topic in English or Kiswahili and Nika explains step by step, gives examples and helps you revise. Each learner has a daily message allowance.

Challenges

Time-bound skill challenges where you beat the clock. Answer fast and accurately to win mCoins and points and prove your mastery.

Events & Challenge Hub

Join live national tournaments and seasonal events, or jump into the Challenge Hub for daily, weekly and monthly challenges, 1v1 duels, grid battles and Battle Nika. Compete head-to-head and climb the rankings.

Ranks, Leaderboards & Badges

County and national leaderboards rank learners by points, while achievement badges reward your milestones. Keep learning and competing to rise through the ranks.

mCoins

mCoins are the in-app currency. Earn them by learning and competing, then spend them in the shop and on premium AI and classroom features.

Virtual Classroom

Live video lessons with chat, Q&A, shared materials and attendance — plus an assigned AI subject teacher. Teachers and admins create sessions, choose a grade, assign an AI teacher and even generate CBC-aligned lesson content with one click.

• Live lessons with chat & Q&A
• AI subject teachers help every learner
• Sessions can be recorded to the Makinika Library for replay

Roles

Students learn and compete. Teachers and admins host classrooms and manage content. Parents follow their child's progress — everyone has a home built for them.
