The Center for Educational Technologies at Wheeling Jesuit University has developed two educational video games about the moon and space.  The games are targeting children ages 9 and older.

In the video game "MoonWorld," players interact within a 3D world to explore the moon in lunar rovers, learning the authentic practice of solar system geological field work.  In the game called "Selene," participants play a game to learn how the earth and moon were created, learning scientific concepts including accretion, differentiation, gravity, density, kinetic energy and radioactivity.
