Shape Shooter is a SMART Board ready video game that allows students to investigate shapes and their names. Students compete for the high score as they blow-up various geometric shapes!

I create and develop commercial games, applications and more. I do the same for the students in my classroom. For my fourth graders I identified a specific need; they simply hadn't had much experience with shapes and could name only a few of them. I put my skills to use to solve this area of need.

I created Shape Shooter to engage my students in a unit on shapes. I also used the game as a passive and continuing learning tool by allowing pairs of students to play during their recess time. To say the least, it was a huge hit, and not just with my class.
