About Zoombinis
Zoombinis is an engaging and challenging logic puzzle game, designed to 
teach middle school math and CT skills. The Zoombinis, small blue creatures each with distinct traits, need your students’ help to escape the evil Bloats and safely travel to Zoombiniville. Students face a series of 12 puzzles that increase in difficulty, and test and strengthen their logical thinking and pattern recognition skills. Zoombinis is a relaunch of the classic, award-winning 1990’s puzzle game Logical Journey of the Zoombinis.
Zoombinis and Computational Thinking
Computational Thinking (CT) is a systematic approach to solving problems that is foundational to computer science and many other subjects. There are four major facets of CT: problem decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithm design. Zoombinis is designed to help teach these concepts to students through 12 levels of challenging puzzles.
