    Ok I'm generally not one to be swayed by pretty graphics and how fun and educational something MUST be .... but this website totally sold me! Elementeo Card Game This looks to be totally up my sons alley. After reading the website, he begged to get out our chemistry model set and start building the compounds on the cards.

    This is a card game created by a 14 year old and released at the National Assoc. For the Gifted Conference.

    Here's a separate article about the game. Elementeo article Here is a direct link to the NYT article NYT article

    I second Dazey's recommendation. My DS got this for his birthday and really enjoys playing. There are several levels of play to suit different knowledge levels.
    Enjoy!!! Great gift for that difficult to shop for GT child...

    Reading the boys story is certainly inspirational.

    Yes, I looked up the boy to assess whether he was in the DYS program. I don't think he was but he certainly could have benefitted at an earlier age if he's creating games!

    Do report back and let me know if your child(ren) enjoy it. My DS8 does.
    Thanks!
