Overview

PolySpon was a game created for the Verizon Wireless App for Class Contest. The application is designed and intended for Middle Schools around the US. This was a multi-phase competition, and I joined the team during the second phase. PolySpon was tested among local schools here in North Carolina and we received a staggering number of positive results for the title that has left our team inspired to continue development on the game.

PolySpon is a game developed and designed for education. PolySpon is a math based game designed to help middle school children learn and retain 6th grade math concepts.

The Game

An educational game designed and developed initially for a Verizon Wireless - Apps for Class - Challenge. This fun and challenging game is catered to Middle School students to help them to learn and retain 6th grade mathematics concepts in a fun and rewarding fashion.  PolySpon gives students the right amount of challenge, but uniquely balances a young person's interest to make them want to indulge in the game further which helps in long-term retention of the material taught.  Learn and play in one challenging, fun, and rewarding experience with PolySpon!
