DESCRIPTION

Widget Workshop: The Mad Scientist's Laboratory allows kids eight and up to experiment with math and science in a fun, open-ended way. They can choose to solve puzzles included in the game or make their own widgets, which do things like making a dog bark or counting how many seconds are in a year.

The manual explains many of the concepts kids will run across in their explorations, such as scientific notation and logic gates. It also explains the many parts that kids will find in the game. At the back of the book is a "Mad Scientist's Diploma" that kids get to fill out after they have completed all of the puzzles in the game. ~ Lisa Karen Savignano, All Game Guide
