Gravity Board Games, a Danish organization that created the popular Hungry Higgs board game, is presenting the Entertainment and educational line of the physical games.
Come and try our games and learn more about the concept in booth 4139.
Educational design and technology company CuroGens Learning a digital partnership is currently developing digitized software and a gamification plugin for Hungry Higgs that will enhance game-based learning worldwide.
As part of the partnership, Danish Math teacher Org. described excersizes and CuroGens Learning will participate in the GBL21 studies in 2019 and 2010, where approximately 1600 children from schools area will compete in math using Hungry Higgs’ new teaching materials that reinforce student’s math competencies throughout the game. The project is conducted by Aalborg University, Denmark
Gravity Board Games innovative physical games with software and gamification plugin not only succeeds in making learning more fun and engaging, it also helps inspire students worldwide to master their math skills.
Gravity Board Games support the learning beliefs that student and teacher engagement and empowerment mean a better outcome not just academically, but socially as well
About: Gravity Board Games has developed and produced six entirely new and unique two-person board games in cooperation with Syddansk Teknologisk Innovation.
The board games are unique because – as the name suggests – they all have the concept of gravity as a part of the game concept. All six board games can be won if you’re best at moving weight from one half of the playing field to another – but they can also be won in other and more traditional ways along the way. With this, a new dimension has been added to the board games.
It doesn’t involve just winning in a traditional way by moving pieces. It also involves the fact that the pieces have a weight in addition to a function that can have critical importance for the game’s outcome.
The games have been designed over a see-saw device. Under the rules about “force times arm”, a piece that is close to the centre line does not weigh the same as a piece that is far from the centre line.
There’s a lot to think about, therefore, when you play one of Gravity Games’s board games. The games are easy to learn but difficult to master, and you quickly discover that you’ll get better and better the more games you play.
Gravity Board Games has been proven significantly motivating for students within math and science classes by Aalborg University in Denmark 2017.
