Universe Quest from ThinkingWorlds!

A fascinating project, The Universe Quest Game is an element of Universe Quest (a US NSF-ITEST program) and is a collaboration between University of California, Berkeley (Space Sciences Laboratory), Girl Scouts of Northern California (Girls go Tech program) and Learnit3D Ltd. Watch this engaging video of engaged students from a traditionally underserved segment of our student population. What could other schools do with the pioneering progress already made with this program? Visit Thinkingworlds.com to learn how you can create your own Unverse Quest Game!
