Time Engineers is a unique educational game which teaches math, science, physics, plus history to students while time-traveling through 3D interactive environments. Time Engineers encourages
trial-and-error experimentation, allowing students to adjust variable factors in their attempts to solve problems successfully.
In Ancient Egypt, they experiment with ramps, workers, and the type of stone to
build pyramids. During World War II, they help design a stealth submarine or a radar system. During the Middle Ages, students help design a drawbridge and a catapult. In each, there are several factors that students
can adjust to be successful. The content, delivered through narration, text and interactive exercises, includes binary numbers, boolean logic, weirs and water flow, force balance and trajectory. Time Engineers comes
complete with an electronic teacher manual (PDF format) that was developed to support your efforts in the classroom or home.
