Mission Control
© 1998 Terrapin Software, Inc.
In this excellent program, children help save a planet from a wacky scientist using their programming skills. In order to repair the scientist's damage to the planet kids must rewire machines, interpret sensors and build bridges. In the process they get to try out their programming skills. In order to open a door, they must estimate distance and angles, repeat patterns and learn to build simple procedures. The math, logic and programming practice combined with an appealing theme make this a rich learning experience. The CD comes with an easy to use version of the LOGO programming language.
