Overview

We make a social, browser-based game where players create and play with virtual robots in realistic 3D environments, so that they have fun while learning programming, math and science. We do this because we believe a major shift in labor markets will make computational thinking more of a necessity, and we want to gradually introduce kids to the subject using gaming, starting with about fourth grade.
