Hi Martin,

we <http://iridescentlearning.org/> have developed more than 8 ios and
<http://iridescentlearning.org/programs/apps/>android
STEM apps <http://iridescentlearning.org/programs/apps/> for an upper
elementary and middle school age group. we have learned a lot
in<http://iridescentlearning.blogspot.com/2012/02/learning-pains-while-developing-science.html>
the process.
Initially we created games that were really "edutainment" - keeping the
learning and the gaming separate. that doesn't really work. our most recent
apps are really
beginning to get at learning!
We have two Ethers apps - Fluid<http://iridescentlearning.org/ethers/fluid/>
 Ether <http://iridescentlearning.org/ethers/fluid/> and
Gravity<http://iridescentlearning.org/ethers/gravity/>
Ether <http://iridescentlearning.org/ethers/gravity/> that actually
allow children
to create their own levels and also provide an assessment dashboard for
teachers so that they can see where children are spending most of their
time.

would be happy to share more.
