IBM has created a scientific 3D game for teenagers
IBM has entered a somewhat unusual market for multiplayer online games (MMOG). In the new free 3D game PowerUp, participants are trying to save the planet Helios from an ecological disaster. For players, three missions are proposed: installation programs for wind turbines, solar panels, or water power stations as alternative forms of energy.
Development of the project on its own engine took sixteen months from IBM programmers. 200 schoolchildren from the Connecticut science lovers group were invited as consultants.

This project is part of the IBM initiative of TryScience, which involves the promotion of popular science topics among modern youth. In America, this is a big problem. Local young people do not want to go to study for engineers, mathematicians, physicists and programmers. In American universities already today, most of the students in these specialties are foreigners.
