Engineering Interact

October 12, 2011

Engineering Interact is a site for younger learners designed by the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge.

Engineering Interact offers five games designed to teach students physics concepts. The games address concepts related to light, sound, motion, electricity, and space travel. Each of the five games presents students with a scenario in which they have to "help" someone solve a problem.

The games require learners to learn and analyze the information presented to them.

Try out the games at http://www.engineeringinteract.org/interact.htm.
