Scott, a Downingtown, Pa. middle school student, walked into class one day to a pleasant surprise. His technical education teacher instructed the class to use a fun, online collaborative game to further its classroom experience. Less than a year later, the phenomenon has spread through the school like wildfire. Much like Scott’s teacher, many educators and parents are leveraging online tools and technology to encourage their kids’ imagination and growth. A free, online building game and community gives kids the opportunity to be creative and encourages them to leverage their skills to build personalized spaces populated with characters, vehicles, homes, high-rise buildings, pirate ships and even major landmarks such as Mt. Rushmore and the White House. Kids employ basic math, programming and physics knowledge to create one-of-a-kind games, avatars and online interactive spaces.
