According to Valve, "One
of the biggest challenges in teaching science, technology, engineering,
and math is capturing the students’ imaginations long enough for them
to see all of the possibilities that lie ahead. Using interactive tools
like the Portal series to draw them in makes physics, math, logic,
spatial reasoning, probability, and problem-solving interesting, cool,
and fun which gets us one step closer to our goal—engaged, thoughtful
kids!"
Valve is offering the Mac and PC versions of Portal, the 2007 physics-based
puzzle game that took the world by storm, for free via Steam until
September 20. Valve is giving the game away in honor of its Learn with Portals program. The educational program hopes to leverage the way video
games are increasingly playing a role in education by using Portal and
Portal 2 to teach physics and critical thinking skills to students.
