These will be complemented by more traditional educational materials which expand upon the lessons taught by the game.Įducators interested in this modification can follow its progress and receive details on how to employ it in the classroom on the official KerbalEdu website. Further, the educational developer also plans to build a series of lessons into the game that focus on specific topics.
The first release of KerbalEdu has yet to appear, but TeacherGaming has revealed plans to alter the game's UI to make data collection more simple and akin to real world scientific methods. " KSP is about making rocket science fun, which is why we didn't need any complex algorithms to realize an educational version is a great extension," said Adrian Goya, co-owner of Kerbal Space Program developer Squad. This is what KerbalEdu hopes to capitalize on. In the course of designing a functional spaceship, players will repeatedly crash, explode and lose ships in increasingly spectacular fashion, but with each failure they learn a bit more about how to push their rocket into space. The game's physics are meticulously detailed, making this easier said than done. Kerbal Space Program, for those unaware, is a construction game that gives players a wide range of components, then asks them to build and launch a spacecraft. Hoping to make rocket science a bit more palatable to the average person, the developers behind Kerbal Space Program have joined forces with TeacherGaming to launch a modified version of the game called KerbalEdu.
