	Featured Project Cosmos Chaos Completed Cosmos Chaos is a Nintendo DS title designed to improve reading proficiency and vocabulary acquisition among 4th grade students, a demographic known to grapple with the transition from “learning to read” to “reading to learn”. Part adventure game, part RPG, the game's narrative sees the player traverse a variety of otherworldly (literally, in some cases) terrains in search of their faithful dog, Hugo. Mute robots, mad scientists, inflatable animals, and bean-shaped aliens get tossed into the mix and intergalactic chaos ensues. Add a pinch of alliteration and... voila: Cosmos Chaos! Game feature highlights include: an intensely deep pedagogical model, turn-based robot battles, vocabulary-building minigames, a built-in assessment function, and loads of wacky, lovingly-rendered characters and environments.
