Summary

Dublin City School District is introducing an interactive, educational, game system to their elementary and middle schools.

The gaming system, which is an interactive playground from PowerUp EDU, puts an interactive screen on a wall.

"It's a fun way to learn math and other things," elementary school student Harmonee Harris said.

The interactive gaming system has games for multiple school subjects like math and physical education.

Matt Starley is an elementary and middle school physical education teacher and said he plans on using the gaming system once a week for his students.

Starley said the games also teach sportsmanship to the kids encouraging them to cheer on their classmates in the game.

Brin Hogan has a fourth and an eighth-grader in the school district, and she said her kids have said great things about the games so far.
