Slates

Build bridges. Launch catapults. Crack codes.

Eleven small games for curious kids. Design a bridge and drive a truck across it, balance a beam to lift a boulder, mesh gears, launch a stone over a castle wall, wire up the bulbs and program a robot to the gem. Then there are math flash cards with pictures, mini crosswords about space, knights and animals, a word hunt, a joke machine and a weird-but-true science quiz. No ads and no sign-up, and it works on phones and tablets as well as computers.
