I talked to you the other day about free app of the week si the best app of the week for iPhone, so today we are talking about the best application of the week for iPad recommended by Apple. Crazy Gears is the application chosen by those from Cupertino for promotion in its App Store, it being designed especially for children, but being a very good source of entertainment including for adults who have some free time at their disposal and want to occupy it with an engaging game.
As you probably already imagine, the game is based on our inventiveness and ability to connect various wheels to form mechanisms based on which we will have to move various objects placed in the virtual maps designed by the developers, everything being extremely interesting thought. At the base of the game is the idea of teaching children about various notions of physics, but in a funny way, so that they understand more easily how various principles and laws work, so that later they apply everything in school or even in real life if they need it.
Explore a captivating digital playground in this tantalizing puzzle game! Children manipulate gears, chains, rods, and pulleys, to pull themselves through each level, which teaches them how different mechanisms affect one another when constructing a machine. Each reasoning challenge was carefully designed to adhere to the theories of educational technology pioneer, mathematician, computer scientist, and designer of the first programming language for children, Seymour Papert.
As a child, Papert fell in love with gears. Their movement fascinated him in every way and inspired his career. Crazy Gears was conceived not only as a tribute to him, but with the hope of providing a child with the inspiration to discover and understand the physical properties of mechanisms found in their everyday lives. Such complex notions include, tension, motion, and gravity. We achieve this by encouraging the child to manipulate the objects in each level to determine how they work together to accomplish a goal. Interactions with technology give kids the power to construct their understanding of STEM subjects in meaningful ways. Here we engage them in play that does just that!
Crazy Gears is available for DOWNLOAD in universal format from the App Store.
