With two to four players, kids will have the chance to familiarize themselves with programming languages by skiing and snowboarding all the way to the finish line.<br /> <span class="inline left"></span>Here's how the C-Jump creators break it down: "The child calculates number of steps in the move, including addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication of small numbers. The game helps to develop understanding of a complete computer program, formed by logical sequences of commands." Forget reading, writing and arithmetics, because for only $25 little Bobby can fast-track his way to a Computer Science degree!<br /> <div class='gallery_thumbs ' ><div class=title><!-- gallery teaser --><a class=photo-count href='http://www.geeksugar.com/1130004'>View 4 Photos ›</a><!-- /gallery teaser --></div><ul></ul></div></p> http://www.geeksugar.com/1130017#comment kid tech c-jump Thu, 20 Mar 2008 05:00:21 -0700 GeekSugar http://www.geeksugar.com/1130017 http://www.geeksugar.com/1130004 <a href="http://www.geeksugar.com/1130004"><img width=160 height=70 src='http://media.onsugar.com/files/upl0/1/15111/12_2008/box001_1.large.JPG'></div></a> <div class='gallery_thumbnail'> <a href='/1130004'></a> </div> <div class='call_to_action'> <!-- gallery teaser --><a href="/1130004?page=0,0,0">View Slideshow ›</a><!-- /gallery teaser --> </div> <hr class=space> http://www.geeksugar.com/1130004#comment Wed, 19 Mar 2008 17:09:39 -0700 GeekSugar http://www.geeksugar.com/1130004
