'A number of years ago, I did an informal action research project with the software. ' I have found that students are really engaged and learning problem solving, critical thinking and collaborative learning skills when they are able to work with the program,' says Kathy Benson, teacher at Hawthorne Elementary, Baltimore, MD.

'It's awesome to see kids achieve their 'Aha' moment as they realize their engineering and design skills created the perfect chain reaction.' ' Contraption Maker is all new, but it's the culmination of decades of research and game development,' says Jeff Tunnell, co-founder and creative director of Spotkin. Educators, especially in STEM-focused classrooms and labs, are going to love Contraption Maker, not just for the smart gameplay, but for how much fun kids have playing it. This game is the spiritual successor to The Incredible Machine, a game that engaged kids and adults alike back in the 1990s. In Maker Lab, kids enter their own laboratory and build any kind of contraption they can imagine. There are over 200 existing challenges in Solve It mode, and each can be played over and over again with distinct solutions each time. Each screen is an engineering and design challenge where kids have the power to make anything happen using their creativity and imagination. While playing Contraption Maker, kids are challenged to solve puzzling problems by assembling Smart Parts to achieve a desired outcome. Combining the timeless fun and creative learning of toys like Lego(tm) with the interactive power and excitement of a high-definition computer game, Contraption Maker turns kids into learning engineers where they discover spatial design and creative problem solving, all while having a blast. What do dynamite, a magnifying glass, a bowling ball, a balloon, and a blender all have in common? They are just a few of the objects you can use to build incredible chain reactions in Contraption Maker.
