"Kenyan Man Builds Airplane From Scrap"

"A Popular Science article features an experimental school, Quest to Learn, in which students are taught exclusively through video games."

"A Wired article discusses how the proliferation of video games has rapidly increased the science-based vocabulary of young people."

"University of Florida's list of Science Games for Children, lists several online-only games that teach basic science principles."

"In a Finding Your Science video, Dr. Gee discusses the deep learning principles found in many video games of today. He argues that human beings have a very strong, innate instinct for learning, just as we have a strong instinct for reproduction. Gee goes on to say that traditional schooling inadvertently suppresses this instinct in many ways."

"New research indicates that using video games as an instructional tool can be an effective way of getting children, to learn and remember new conceptual material very quickly."
