Clever Kids Compute Fun

From the Southern Gazette (Community News), 2nd January 2001

There may be several computer programmers to come out of Cloverdale Primary School.

Year 3 students are getting in early when it comes to learning about the intricacies of computers. They have learnt about creating computer programs through Leederville software company Fun-Ed. The company created an interactive 2D and 3D animated adventure CD-ROM with 18 sub-games, and asked for their opinions.

The students were part of an international Junior Advisory Board. Their feedback helped to create the final product.

They will each receive a copy of the eVac-U8 with Elbie Arbie game.

The program is not all fun and games - it is based on the Year 3 mathematics curriculum and the player constructs a 3D model away from the computer. For information or to see pictures of the Junior Advisory Board, visit www.fun-ed.com
