Check out a selection of games that will help students explore, create, collaborate and more. The six games discussed are: * Garry's Mod - learn physics as you play * Kerbal Space Program - another physics game * Sound Shapes - designed for PlayStation this is a "puzzle game set to a rich musical soundscape" * DIY - Find instructions to build a wide variety of items and a community that will support you * STENCYL - learn to program using "blocks of code" that you may snap together and create games that may be played on a variety of platforms * CodeAcademy - learn a variety of programming language for free Do you think students should learn to code? If you do then some of these games will provide them with this skill as well as others that we know are part of gaming. You may want to try some of these with your students.
