Excellent! As a parent I am really excited to see the connection between STEM education and virtual games. Gaming is such a big part of children's lives and I think combining educational elements to games is very beneficial. Actually, this summer I'm sending my kids to the National Flight Academy in Pensacola, Florida (www.nationalflightacademy.com), which teaches students STEM principles in an immersive environment using state of the art simulators and role play.
