NASA collaborated with Rovio on new Angry Birds Space episode
NASA collaborated with Rovio Entertainment to include educational content into the space-themed version of Angry Birds, Angry Birds Space. Solar System, the latest episode/update for Angry Birds Space, features 15 new educational levels so you can uncover fun facts about the Solar System by playing Angry Birds Space.
“We have spent time defining our approach to learning and strongly believe that learning is fun when you love what you do, when it’s fun to fail, when you feel intrinsically motivated and when you experience flow. Well-designed games are strong in all of those four fields by default, thus offering a next generation platform for outstanding learning experiences,” said Sanna Lukander, VP Learning, Rovio Entertainment.
