IBM Think
© 2012 IBM Corp.
Free and fascinating, this app turns your iPad into a hands-on museum designed to let you explore some big ideas -- stuff like how different kinds of maps have developed, the role of key inventions, and other big ideas. Using a sunflower-like main menu, you can explore five idea clusters simply by touching the petals which are labeled seeing, mapping, discover, understanding, believing and acting. This is the kind of app that is nice to have in your library, to increase the chance that your child might stumble into a powerful concept that just might plant a seed. Runs on iPads running iOS 5.0 or later. Content includes a 10-minute HD film. Note that this is a big 500 MB download. Created by SYPartners, Motion Theory and Mirada.
