Educational Gaming: PowerUp and Save the World!


Teachers, do you dream of a learning resource that will grab your students’ attention and engage them as thoroughly as the video games they play at home and on their mobile phones? Are you looking for a classroom resource that will motivate your students to apply science and math concepts to real world problems? Would you like to spark your students interest in pursuing a career in Science or Engineering?

PowerUp is a free downloadable educational video game in which children save the planet from ecological ruin while learning about engineering and science. It is brought to you through a collaboration between IBM, TryScience, and the NY Hall of Science and is complete with teacher lesson plans and a facilitation guide. Learn more, click here.
