Moovl
|
Moovl is a digital online drawing tool with lifelike dynamic properties. It allows children to create drawings that move according to simple rules of science. When children draw pictures on a Tablet PC or an interactive whiteboard, the animating environment simulates gravity, collision, and tension so that the pictures move as if they were in the real world. The software is intended to allow children to make predictions and hypotheses about how things in the world work, to visualise their ideas, and to test them out in a trial-and-error approach.
An online "scrapbook" function allows kids to save their simulations and access resources created by other children over the web. This feature aims to help children to think together about science, and to share and solve problems together. Authors: SODA (the guys of the amazing soda constructor, a version for mobile phones is announced). Moovl will be shown at the OFFF festival in Barcelona, from 12th to 14th May. |

Back in my undergraduate engineering days, the SODA Constructor was set as the homepage on a bunch of the PCs in the computer lab. It let you create 'machines' driven by a periodic motion. I'm using machines loosely, because the... Read More
