Game to teach logic: your input needed! - 02/07/13 10:00 PM
Pardon the intrusion by a newbie, but I�d love to get your feedback!
I�m working with a team of web developers who are in the process of creating an online game designed to teach logic � and, ultimately, computer programming � to kids. The game is designed to become progressively more challenging as kids improve their programming skills. If they choose, kids can �challenge� their friends with custom logic/programming tasks.
As the parent of a GT 2nd grader myself, it occurred to me that GT families might be a great source of ideas and insight as we fine-tune our designs and plans.
My questions for you are: Does this game sound like something your family would be interested in? Why or why not? Are there any specific features you believe would make or break a game like this? Does your son or daughter already have a game or toy that works the same way?
Any and all input would be greatly appreciated! Our team is passionate about creating something that will keep kids engaged and challenged while teaching them skills that will serve well them both now and in the future.
Thank you!
