Description from the packaging.
The most exciting journey of all!
The adventure is about to begin...
What was it that led Edison to invent the light bulb, Columbus to chart a path to the New World, Galileo to look up to the heavens? What is it that makes a child's first chemistry set or telescope so all-consuming?
It is the basic human need to know. To explore. To discover.
Knowledge Adventure helps kids learn, not by instruction or rote, but by letting them chart their own course of discovery.
Learning by wandering. And wondering.
With Knowledge Adventure, kids learn the most important fact of all- that knowledge is an adventure. An exciting, endless journey of many paths, each more interesting than the last.
Knowledge Adventure provides numerous and fascinating ways to explore the worlds of art, science, literature, music, nature, architecture, geography and philosophy, all merely by clicking within the Picture Frame, the Earth Window, the Timeline or the Subject icons.
As kids wander down one path and then wonder what lies in another, they have but to click a button to find out. What was going on in China at the same time Henry Ford built the Model T? And where did the idea for the combustible engine come from in the first place? Where would it ultimately lead? To the stars, perhaps?
A journey of sight, sound and mind.
With the aid of icons, photographs, illustrations, digital sounds and text, kids are held spell-bound, as they explore one idea and then, guided by their instinctive curiosity, connect it to another.
Knowledge Adventure was developed by a team of dedicated software designers, professional educators, journalists and parents who share the belief that kids, if left on their own with the right tools, will learn more- and more deeply.
They have combined their basic belief with the power of the computer and innovative, proprietary software technology that makes it possible to associate the thousands of idea-links that drive the program and challenge the imagination.
If learning can be fun, if kids can be motivated to consider timeless ideas, historical facts and the world around them, then this is the way: make it an adventure.
Knowledge Adventure is a fun-to-use, self paced learning "game" for both children and adults. It is designed to let the user quickly and thoroughly explore the fascinating worlds of art, science, literature, architecture, music, nature, geography and philosophy. It includes easy-to-read, factual descriptions of the scenes and events pictured, in text that can be printed for reference.
Since the progression of screens is conceptually linked, users are left to draw their own connections between ideas, exercising their reasoning skills. They also have fun seeing what comes next.
