Hey there!

We know it's been a while, but we didn't forget about you! Our players are an infinite source of inspiration for us. Seeing so many people interested in puzzles about programming, machine learning and stuff like that - we just can't afford to let you down!

That means, we always think about you! And from this thinking, we find the guts and ideas to move educational games forward. Here's what we've been doing since the last time we've been catching up:

Learning Factory EDU: STEM-Centered, Free, Co-Developed With Teachers

And we've been working on stuff! We've collaborated with Games for Change non-profit organization, to make a special, STEM-centered version of our next game, Learning Factory. And we're making it happen! In fact, you can already download free version of Learning Factory EDU from our website

In short, we've teamed up with teachers who are helping us to develop a lesson plan, that will help understand engineering practices and improve problem-solving skills. It also comes with a podcast, in which you can follow us as we develop Learning Factory EDU, while meeting all kinds of awesome people from the world of education.

Add it to your Wishlist before we reach singularity and disappear in the fog of the future!
