AB  - interest and attention of educators due to its potential for teaching and learning, or improving the
skills of learners in the classroom. The main power of video games lie within continuous
formative assessment and instantaneous feedback on skills taught within the game. Education
literature emphasizes that video games are more capable of improving learners’ decision-making
and problem solving skills than conventional instruction. Additionally, earlier studies
highlighted the benefits of video games in conceptual understanding and process and skills in
STEM. Authors believe that serious video games should be integrated in K-8 science and
engineering classrooms. Based on authors knowledge, there currently is limited evidence of
using video games in K-8 engineering education. Integrating video games in K-8 engineering
education is a novel way to introduce the concepts of engineering design process in science
classrooms. Furthermore, with using video games, teachers can address Next Generation
Science Standards (NGSS) disciplinary core ideas, engineering practices, and crosscutting
concepts. In this poster, we will present Zoombinis, a video game to engage students in
engineering design process. We will investigate to what extent K-8 students’ understanding of
engineering design process changes when playing Zoombinis, a puzzle game designed to engage
students in problem solving and computational thinking and will report the findings of our Work-
In-Progress. Our results may have implications for use of video games, specifically Zoombinis,
in K-8 engineering education.
