Whoever said games can’t serve a purpose in school hasn’t seen what TeacherGaming has been doing.
Following a successful run with bringing a modified version of Mojang’s Minecraft to certain schools, the team has announced that it will now bring Kerbal Space Program to a number of institutions.
Being introduced under the name KerbalEdu, most of the gameplay will remain intact, save for a few slight modifications. But kids shouldn’t worry, as the general exploration theme, as well as a variety of its options, will remain intact.
“The idea is that we don’t ruin the game,” said TeacherGaming CEO Santeri Koivisto, speaking previously about MinecraftEdu. “So when the kids come to school they don’t think it’s some rubbish school Minecraft, they just know it’s their favourite game at home and now they’re playing it at school.”
No word yet on which schools would be getting the program, but approximately 50 will be selected for a test run in November.
