MathDash
EGS, Drexel University, Microsoft Imagine Cup 2012
The Imagine Cup is a worldwide competition for students to design and create innovative technological solutions to real-world problems. MathDash was developed by Matt Lesnak, Keith Ayers and N. Taylor Mullen, dubbed team “Drexel Dragons”. The Drexel Dragons claimed a world championship in the Microsoft Imagine Cup 2012.
Players of any age can enjoy MathDash, while elementary-age children can use it to reinforce basic math concepts. MathDash is unlike most educational games because math is integrated into the core gameplay design. Unlike traditional tests, you’re given an operator and an answer and must solve for the operands. Do this while chaining combos, activating power-ups, avoiding hazards and competing with your friends.Publications
