system. Regarding content validation, an overall CVI of 0.78 was obtained under the general
characteristics; CVI of 0.87 in organization and writing style with CVI of 0.90. Regarding technical
aspects, the game was validated with an IVC of 0.86 in the usability item; 0.88 in efficiency
and functionality with IVC of 1.00. Conclusion: through the development and validation of the
educational game, it is understood the importance of technologies in order to promote education
