AgentCubes Online 3D Game Design AnywhereBoulder, CO: Today's release of AgentCubes Online allows anyone, anywhere to create their own 3D video games immediately. Invited and challenged by Code. org to give the world a taste of 3D Game Design, AgentSheets, Inc. developed AgentCubes Online with no software to download, and an hour-long coding activity suitable for kids. This version tickled the curiosity of over 500,000 hour-of-code participants! Children as young as 4th grade can learn to program with AgentCubes Online, creating and sharing games with friends, and even playing them on mobile devices. AgentCubes Online is coding for kids that allows them to keep growing. They start with drag and drop visual programming and can transition to JavaScript. In this way, kids continue learning and building complex games and scientific simulations.
![]() Introducing our Computational Thinking Foundation & Chic@s Code - winners of a Google Rise Partnership award!Thanks to the 2015 Google RISE Partnership awarded to Scalable Game Design Mexico: Chic@s Code, girls in middle schools in the state of Nuevo Leon, Mexico will be learning computational thinking through Game Design. Chic@s Code will provide hands-on computer programming and computational thinking activities to students and teachers with AgentCubes and our new REACT software prototype, engaging and motivating them and opening up a new range of possibilities for students to pursue in education and as careers. In addition, this project will bring awareness to parents, local and regional communities that a future in technology is not only available to their girls, but achievable! Chic@s Code will introduce game design to more than 3,500 middle school students, including 1,700 girls. The partnership will provide computer science education through the proven Scalable Game Design curriculum. Chic@s Code will also produce Spanish language SGD curriculum for use in Spanish-speaking areas all over the U.S. Chic@s Code is a partnership of the Scalable Game Design (SGD) Project at the University of Colorado, the Computational Thinking Foundation, Tecnológico de Monterrey, the Instituto Innovación Transferencia Tecnología, Secretaria de Educación de Nuevo León, and the Shodor Education Foundation.
