Create a Car


News 3/17 - there is a small bug that affects iPad 2 only. A fix is coming soon.

Create a Car is for young children ages 3 to 9.

This app is developed specifically for young children. The user interface is intuitive and simple enough for my 3 year old daughter.

Create a Car is a click and drag activity for elementary age students.

Select one of six vehicle body styles and then select from over 50 different parts to place on the vehicle body.

Once your vehicle has been designed you can save it to your profile and send it to friends.

As an added bonus you can turn your car on and watch the many of the parts move.

Features:
-Universal App! Only .99 for the iPhone & iPad version
-High-resolution graphics for the iPhone 4 Retina display
-Five player profiles
-Over sixty-five custom vehicle parts
-Six fun car styles
-Save & edit vehicles in the garage
-Create custom information for each vehicle
-Higher order questions based on Bloom’s Taxonomy
-Ignition Key feature for a fun surprise
-Rotate & scale parts

Education:
Sample lesson idea
Students use their imagination to invent vehicles to do specific tasks. Once the vehicle has been designed, students can save the vehicle in the garage. Next students can type information to describe the vehicle by following an instructional objective or by using the guidance questions provided. Finally, students can share the vehicle and their description with the class or teacher for feedback. All this can be done without leaving the Create a Car application!

Sample Bloom’s Taxonomy questions for the vehicle description feature
1. Knowledge: List and describe some of the vehicle parts.
2. Comprehension: Explain what this vehicle can do.
3. Application: Where can this vehicle be driven?
4. Analysis: Identify the most important vehicle parts and explain why they are important.
5. Synthesis: If you could create a part that is not in the game, what would it be?
6. Evaluation: How could your vehicle be improved?
