Kodu game lab was created for kids to be the "smart agents" that can design the experiences that they want to have, and want others to have. It is a program language. There has been a lot of enthusiasm about Kodu, it builds the sort of rich 3d visual game you are used to playing on the xbox (first came out of xbox)--session on Kodu after this one.
Building games, even in Kodu is still more work than just playing games. The focus of this is specifically on Kodu, or related topics at creating interest and skills in the STEM areas...Although there is also time spent on learning history and geography, and other things by modding Civ.
