This game offers kids an introduction to Javascript programming syntax while gaining exposure to math, variable assignment, and conditional concepts. They’ll solve puzzles through debugging and editing parts of real code using variables, math, step by step execution, logical sequencing, loops, booleans and conditional operations.

Here are six ways to make Aqueducts even more fun!

  1. Use the Aqueducts level editor to make your own game level! Can you use 3 "hackables"?

  2. Collect all 5 stars in the demo! There are even more stars to find in the full game, on the launcher

  3. Draw your own pipe system delivering water from a river or lake to the city. Can you draw pipes that turn 90 degrees? What about 270? Or pipes that branch to different homes and businesses?

  4. Do they know where are all the pipes are in your house? Are there kitchen and bathroom pipes near each other? Why do you think that is? If you live in a house with multiple floors, are there more pipes and water-appliances near the bottom? In the basement? If you live in an apartment, is the neighbor's bathroom near yours? Architects try to group things like pipes together. How might that make a building easier to make, safer, and more efficient?

  6. Grab a ball, any kind will work! Can you keep it rolling without touching it for 5 seconds? Can you make a course that slowly descends so it keeps rolling for 10 seconds? 15 seconds? 25? Remember the steeper your course, the faster it'll reach the bottom.
