“Time Engineers” is an interesting computer simulation game for kids between the ages of 7-17. The premise is novel – the kids travel back in time to solve engineering problems in three different eras. Science and Math concepts are woven into the playing of the game.

Time Engineers

The children have a shot at building things as diverse as pyramids and drawbridges, to creating a radar array and constructing a diesel submarine.

The kids may look up the math formulas necessary to tackle each task, or apply a trial and error approach. The present version of the game may be short on scenarios and the animations are not probably the best, and costs $19.95, but it seems very promising and worth the price.

Kids can play a trial version of the game here, and maybe check out this demo video to get a flavor of the game.
