This game comes to you from National Geographic Education!
You’ll play as a new engineering employee—getting the basics of the engineering process, practicing robot construction, and leaning about the exciting ways in which robots are used outside the lab.
Why It’s Cool
Challenge: Robots! empowers players to make decisions in constructing robots. These decisions will directly determine whether or not your company’s robots will be successful on missions in the field.Am I Learning?
Of course! This game was designed with both feet firmly planted in reality. Each of the challenges was based on a real-life robotic application. (Yes, even the robotic bees.) This demonstrates that there are exciting robotics careers out there RIGHT NOW—not just far-off science fiction scenarios!Get to Work Playing Games!
Guessing about games? Iffy about interactives? Tentative about technology? We’re here to help! Look forward to a new Game of the Week every other Friday. We’ll tell you what games are cool, what you’re learning, and why it matters.
