My Take
This tool keeps the students excited and engaged. It's the first year it's been used with 4-5th graders. It's working well in conjunction with our STEM curriculum.
How I Use It
Students specifically are using this in conjunction with STEM lessons where they built contraptions of their own on the software and hands on in the classroom.

great way to test student's problem solving skills in a fun and interactive way!
Overall I definitely recommend this product for teachers to use in the classroom. It really gets the child thinking and forces them to act strategically, while still having the activity be fun and interactive. This program was very easy to set up and a student can definitely navigate around it on their own. Theres even a part on the program where students can create machines from scratch which requires them to creative and think outside the box. Overall, it's an excellent program that can definitely teach a child great problem solving skills and utilize their creativity and knowledge in a fun and interactive way.
