Taking Education To A Whole New Dimension
Science fusion™, the Elements of the Scienauts™ has re-defined the definition of unique with the most unusual approach of using the periodic table of the elements and turning it into a game. Although it is more suitable for the education market, it still holds high value for consumer market as well.
An important part of this game is the learning level created by this innovative new game. The reasoning is quite simple due to the tactical method applied in the game. A student or player already knows the cognate name of an Elements™ character, and because of the associative learning process used, thus the brain is more cohesive to deep and lasting memory of each lesson. Science fusion™, the Elements of the Scienauts™ takes education to a whole new level.
Giving The Elements Character and Interesting Personas
Giving the elements character and interesting persona makes the learning process far more easy to grasp. Instead of the usual boring method of direct presentation, the game develops a unique persona for each element which allows the player to associate each element with fun, not the normal task of learning. Think for but a moment of the ingenious accomplishment that has been made here! Now you have a product that will encourage learning of the table of elements and remove the apprehension of the learning curve.
There is more to the game than just what I have referenced above. Science fusion™, the Elements of the Scienauts™ Starter Kit comes with 15 of the Elements of the Scienauts™ cards, a game board, 2 dice cups, 2 custom dice, 10 electrocoin applications and basic rules for the first and second phase.
Not Just An Educational Game...
Many of the educational games on the market are nothing more than that, a educational game. For a teacher, they still have to develop a lesson plan and method of delivery to the students in the class curriculum. The creators of Science fusion™, the Elements of the Scienauts™ have gone beyond simply creating a game but in actuality have created lesson plans as well! Teachers can download the in-depth lesson plans which are available on the Science-fusion web site. There are an abundance of lesson plans to use in addition to student work sheets to use as well. Science fusion™, the Elements of the Scienauts™ is on an entirely new platform for education now and preparing for future.
Getting The REAL Story From Hands-On Evaluation
I can make a pitch every which way and then some, but getting the REAL facts of the potential with Science fusion™, the Elements of the Scienauts™ is best learned from hands-on experience in a live setting. Considering that the Table of Elements is not an every day item of delight to ponder over, I decided to take the game to the University of Las Vegas library to get some feedback. Now rest assured, this was an interesting situation when you consider I was taking a GAME to a university library where a quiet atmosphere is mandatory. I approached one of the students who was working in the library and inquired if it would be okay to try this. The young lady made her answer simple..."Why not?".
The young lady knew some fellow students who were into math, physics, and the sort, and called them up to ask if they would be interested in evaluating this game in the library. The idea of playing a game in the library and the challenge to keep it quiet was quite enticing to the students. The first 10 minutes was well under control, but soon afterwards it became quite different. Word got around to many others as to what was going on at the table where we were playing the game and in time we had a bit of a crowd around the table, which of course caused the wrong people to take notice. The end result was my getting chastised for using the campus facilities without a pass or being a student. Well, at least I received plenty of feedback from the participants who played the game. It was an overwhelming positive from all of the students ranging from plenty of excitement, to a simple "it was cool". Essentially, the message conveyed was that they all enjoyed playing the game or watching, and felt "that game is a monumental idea!" It is easy to conceive that Science fusion™, the Elements of the Scienauts™ may possibly create an entirely new dimension in learning.
Understanding The Overall Evaluation Of This Game
Science fusion™, the Elements of the Scienauts™ was far more of a challenge to ensure a fair and thorough review and evaluation, but like with anything else in life, where there is a will, there is way! It was quite enjoyable to all the participants in this evaluation, to face the challenge to deliver the same quality we have given every other review to date. Emotions do not have any part of our review process. Guidelines are set to conduct the review and the bottom line is what the numbers add up to in the end.
The design quality, innovation level, and educational value are quite high. The FunFactor™ was clear to see as being tops from our own evaluation as well as the response from the hands-on participants at the library. The visual appeal was average, but the marketing value is well of the scale. This game was a challenge to review, but has proven itself well deserving of being inducted into The Toy Man™ Product Guide.
