Summary

Racing Academy is a racing videogame built on an advanced physics simulation engine. It is intended to support an online community of learners' increased familiarity with engineering concepts, through racing and engineering realistic virtual models of cars. Online facilities allow teams and communities to collaborate and compete on the web. A prototype has been trialled with older teenagers, and there is scope for it to become a multi-generational learning environment.
