Have fun in New York!

Wow. Thanks for the link.

Just from the description, though, I think they might have forgotten to add the "fun" part.

Yeah, working on the sleep thing. Got myself a nice cold at some point on the NY trip. :(

COOL! Thats fantastic. I really hope this project goes well. I agree that teaching kids via video games is the way to go. The more fun you can make it the more likely they will learn something.

Thank you! And yeah, we sure hope so. ;) There have been more and more resources dedicated to merging education and modern game development lately -- it's an exciting time.
