I’m an apprentice mechanic and roughly around the start of my apprenticeship (roughly a year ago) I knew of and was playing the demo for this game (might have been the full version not sure when I bought it exactly). Showed our TAFE teacher a video of this game and convinced him to have a look at it, he showed the head teacher later on and now they have 3-5 copies of the game on different computers, mainly used for 1st years. I think the really good narrated tutorial videos assist greatly in it being a teaching tool.
Didn’t want to say much else just thought it’d be interesting to know.
Thank you very much for sharing! We do get occasional emails from all kinds of levels of education asking if we have a bulk licensing available for education, and that definitely is something we want to push more. Once we have the game polished up for Steam Early Access, it will contain all descriptions of parts, revamped tutorial videos and all new tutorials for the car design aspect, which will make it even more appealing for these purposes!
I just started looking at this game for usage in an alternative education classroom. I am hoping that the steam client will not be required to run the full version as that will never happen/be allowed in our school environment.
Steam comes with educational packages though. I can remember we had a class on level design, and we got to use Portal 2 + Map builder for that class. The educational version was active for a couple of months, then turned inactive and non-useable anymore (if not the subscription was lenghtened by our school) So definetly Educational options through Steam are available. Point is, is your school open enough to run that kind of software? That will be your only limitation, probably!
Well, This should be used for education. But its the fact that they might become mechanics when they are older, Some kids will start a company. some wont, Now I would say YES this should be used in education for schools etc etc because of the facts that they learn more and they can shock the f### out of their parents on how clever they are with car engineering blah blah BLAH I have no up arrow key that was random this is random.
