Introduction • The idea emerged from the Dudley Challenge Internet game • more complex, natural and contextualized problems • larger task, more creative solutions are needed, more natural and life-like
The goal of the game • We wanted children… • to realize what it might mean to join the European Union • to get familiar with the information society • (and their teachers) to see how the Internet and application programs develop creative learning and problem solving
The process of the game • The game consisted of three tournaments, each tournament lasted for four weeks • Teams of five 10-14 years old children, one team from each school • 98 teams • the first 47 teams qualified for the 2nd tournament • the first 15 groups participated in the 3rd tournament
