Twist Education LLC™ is dedicated to building interest and competence in science through games, joining the community of organizations working to attract students to careers in science, technology, engineering and math.

Twist is working to develop mobile games that will teach science. Its products will appeal to high-school students taking advanced exams in science, college students enrolled in science classes, and to those engaged in the independent study of science. The games should also prove useful in science classrooms and as adjuncts to conventional curricula.

Twist’s offerings will have several points of leverage on instruction in difficult, quantitative aspects of science.
Twist games will be made up of several adventure episodes. Each episode of the game will be associated with a specific scientific concept such as relative motion or simple resistive circuits. The connections between episodes will reflect the structure of the subject matter so that students can understand the relationships among concepts.

Each episode of a Twist game will provide a sequence of problems on the episode’s concept. The sequence will semi-random and hence different on every play. In addition, each problem will meet the individual student’s skills and needs while providing a number of mechanisms for instructional support.
