What is Impulse by EdGE? The app is a game-based learning environment designed by the Educational Gaming Environments group (EdGE) at TERC. The game involves navigating a particle through a sea of enemy particles while avoiding collisions and budgeting energy use. The game mechanics mirror real scientific phenomena and are designed to be fun to play.
1. EdGE — On the edge of science and play! The Educational Gaming Environments group (EdGE) at TERC hopes to show that learning happens in all kinds of places by investigating the possibilities—and challenging the assumptions—of game-based learning environments.

3. Work made possible by funding from the National Science Foundation (DRK12 grant #1119144).
4. EdGE is designing and studying games whose mechanics mirror real scientific phenomena, but more importantly, are fun to play.
5. Hint: Be Patient, don't get click happy.
6. propel their own particle to the goal.
7. Closer you click the faster it goes.
8. new forces to contend with.
