Learn through play?
Game-based learning can be understood as a combination of communicating knowledge and play. This is where Ludwig comes in: To win the game, the players gather knowledge and also apply it immediately.
Research Physics
Ludwig is not a conventional video game: Children from 11 years up can now research physical phenomena through play and lead the little robot Ludwig through four different themed worlds (energy through combustion, hydropower, solar energy and wind power).
Individual fragments of knowledge are gathered together in Ludwig and as the game is played, are combined to create a complete knowledge map.
Didactics
Ludwig was developed in cooperation with physics specialists, teachers and pupils and is based on the physics curriculum of the 5th to 8th grades. Since 2011, Ludwig has also been used in the classroom.
