It is true, kids learn best by doing! With PhysicaElementa, kids enhance their Problem Solving Skills as they gain an understanding of basic physics concepts. Animated sequences with narration, help to introduce the concept being studied. As kids answer the questions and build their knowledge, their progress is assessed using Fuzzy Logic and a unique Artificial Intelligence engine that is designed to monitor and adapt based on the student's responses. Funny Stories and real life situations complete the learning process and help kids to make the link between the concept at hand and the real world. So we bought it for Christmas. Dan
