iPhone Giveaway of the Day - Human Heroes Einstein On Time

Play with history’s greatest minds!

This app brings back to life the most iconic figure in the history of science: Albert Einstein!

Through a collection of exciting mini-games, interactive stories and various other activities, kids will learn how to tell the time (a ks1 National Curriculum learning area) and experience the passage of time to understand the nature of time itself and how it’s affected by speed and gravity.

In this revolutionary educational experience, children have the opportunity to be taught by the creator of the theory of relativity himself! Presented as an interactive 3D character, a fun, dancing, quirky Einstein will be their very own personal tutor; guiding them through the various games, helping them when players struggle and telling jokes. Children can even ask him questions about his life and his scientific achievements!

Features:

- Four games in one: Four different stages that focus on different ks1 learning areas.

- A realistic live-show experience: High-quality 3d graphics and a dynamic speech system compliments the luxurious voice performance by Stephen Fry.

- Master reading the clock: Covering a Key-Stage National Curriculum area, the first stage is broken into 17 different levels where players will learn to tell the time in different configurations: O'Clock, quarter and half, past and to, AM and PM, 24-hour format, and even clocks with Roman numerals!
