NitroType is a free typing game and educational website designed to help students improve their typing speed and accuracy. It works by having players compete in races against one another by typing quotes, stories, and passages as quickly and accurately as possible.
When first creating an account, NitroType has users take a 1-minute typing test to determine their words per minute (WPM). It then matches up players of similar skill levels to race. Races consist of paragraphs of text that users must type perfectly and as fast as possible. For each race completed, users earn in-game currency that allows them to upgrade their vehicles and customize their avatars.
The competitive and multiplayer aspects make practicing typing fun rather than tedious. As players type more and race frequently, they get faster and move up through different skill brackets. Statistics like accuracy, WPM growth, and ranking are all tracked over time. This lets students monitor their progress and provides motivation to keep improving.
NitroType also emphasizes the educational aspect. In its typing races, it uses vocabulary words and paragraphs appropriate for different age groups from elementary school to high school. Accounts can be managed by teachers to track entire classrooms of students. With its combination of gameplay and adaptive curriculum, NitroType aims to turn typing practice from a chore into an engaging experience for students.
