Physics can be fun: Fantastic Contraption

Studies have shown that legos improve visual-spacial skills in kids, and that's why boys have a slight advantage over girls (ya know, 'cause parents would rater buy their little girls pink-clothed baby dolls than a lego kit). BF found this game online last night, and while it's Crayola-colored, it's actually a really good game about physics and engineering. If kids played with it, they'd have a head start when they hit science in high school.
