ABOUT CRAZY GEARS
Explore a captivating digital playground in this tantalizing puzzle game! Children manipulate gears, chains, rods, and pulleys, to pull themselves through each level, which teaches them how different mechanisms affect one another when constructing a machine. Each reasoning challenge was carefully designed to adhere to the theories of educational technology pioneer, mathematician, computer scientist, and designer of the first programming language for children, Seymour Papert.

The best use of games is to leverage their tendency to enhance learning- Papert
Recommended Ages 5-9

As a child, Papert fell in love with gears. Their movement fascinated him in every way and inspired his career. Crazy Gears was conceived not only as a tribute to him, but with the hope of providing a child with the inspiration to discover and understand the physical properties of mechanisms found in their everyday lives. Such complex notions include, tension, motion, and gravity. We achieve this by encouraging the child to manipulate the objects in each level to determine how they work together to accomplish a goal. Interactions with technology give kids the power to construct their understanding of STEM subjects in meaningful ways. Here we engage them in play that does just that!

Customer Reviews

Ingenuity at Work! (4 stars)
The Crazy Gears app for iPad and iPhone is just outstanding in its simplicity and its ability to introduce young children to simple machines and mechanical motion. Simple elements in gears, chains, connecting rods, racks, and pulleys can be pushed around the screen in such a way to meet the challenge to "pull the shade" to reveal the next puzzle. You can almost feel the torque on screen as kids learn that gears need to fit together

Parent handbook!!!! (5 stars)
Wonderful app and fabulous parent handbook with details about the various components used and info about one of their inspirations – Seymour Papert – key creator of the Lego programming language for kids, LEGO mindstorms and more. I can't wait to read some of the resources about his work that were highlighted!

Addictive for kids AND their parents! (5 stars)
My 6 year old is having so much fun with this app! Curious to see what he liked about it, I gave it a go and couldnt put it down. Well be playing Crazy Gears again and again.
