London's Science Museum website recently launched a new video game that even surprised them with it's popularity -- it got so many hits last week that it crashed their servers. So what is so fun about these games?
Launchpad
Basically, like many a game, the point is to get your ball to hit the target, but incorporating engineering concepts along the way -- like electricity, wind energy, heat energy and springs. Check it out and see if you can hit the goal.
Think about this in terms of the game software (Scratch) we are learning. What might you use to program the ball? What about the different blocks?
