While it appears as a simple word puzzle, WordStruct 3.0 offers much more.
WordStruct is similar to “3D Scrabble”; however, an element of stability and spatial reasoning allows users to practice computational thinking. By introducing engineering thinking, WordStruct becomes a fun and competitive game that quietly introduces more advanced engineering concepts. Younger users can practice spelling and basic spatial reasoning, while older users can practice working with longer words while ensuring their structures remain stable.
Wordstruct will provide hours of entertainment while reinforcing engineering thinking and soft skills. - A. R. Miller, Purdue Reviewer
