Reader Ray Shingler emailed me yesterday about an interesting new educational game his company created. I'd like to share the news with you:
"I read your blog in IEEE Spectrum and thought you might like to hear about our video game that teaches engineering, math, and science to kids in grades 6-9. The game is entitled "Time Engineers." We designed the game in the hopes of getting more students interested in a possible career in the civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering fields at an earlier age."
Shingler says his company is now working on a sequel for the game too.

I purchased this game to use in a summer program for kids to explore the field of Engineering. My initial test group really liked the game. Great for stand alone classroom teaching where you can jumped from one lesson on engineering principles to the next.
Here is a link to a non-bias review of the game. This is where I first heard about the product.
