PuppyBot Rescue

We want to get PuppyBot Rescue into the hands of thousands, if not millions of kids and see if science concepts can be taught at a younger age (ages 6-9), in an appealing way. Will children play our game and learn from it? Will they play it not because it is assigned homework, but because it’s fun? One of the ways we are hoping to do this is by working along with Sesame Workshop to develop a game that could be launched onto their newly re-designed Prankster Planet website. In doing this, we would be able to reach larger numbers of users than past projects. The science content we are teaching comes naturally through age and experience, and so we’re trying to structure our game so that younger children that have yet to master it and obtain a grasp of it might understand the more complex concepts sooner. Sometimes kids can understand the action, but not the logic behind it - and bridging the two is our goal.
