Introducing Glow Doodle 101
Glow Doodle 101 is an educational board-game kit for teachers to deploy STEM coding activities in classroom.
In the race to obtain rare elements like the shiny “Glowium”, students play the role of voyagers. Their mission is to control Glow Doodle Rocket to venture through space and collect precious elements ahead of other voyagers.
The game rules have been designed carefully to make learning coding concepts much more fun and easier for even young beginners (aged 6+). The game kit has also been designed with tangible play-based learning & experiential learning in mind.
Why Learning Coding Concepts Through Playing Physical Board Games?
While teaching coding concepts in traditional way and practicing on tablets are appropriate for higher grade students, coding concepts are sometimes too abstract for young beginners to learn this way.
Learning through playing physically tangible board games has the following benefits:
- Less screen time
- More engaging
- More effective learning by relating abstract concepts to play experience
Play Based & Experiential Learning
Play based learning & experiential learning have been proven to let children engage more actively in learning. Experiential learning also allows students to more easily grasp basic but new concepts.
Engaging Experience
The purposes of the space adventure theme & eye catching game elements in Glow Doodle 101 is to stimulate students' curiosity and motivation to participate.
Multi-Player Game Play (2-4 Players)
The multi-player game play design is another important factor for an engaging learning experience.
The slight competitiveness between peers and the need to help one another adhere to the game rules naturally stimulate active thinking and involvement during the learning process.
