Associate Professor Ryan D. Sochol designed a course for his 2nd year undergraduate students that used Tears of the Kingdom. As explained in the video, students are devised into teams, are given a Switch, Tears of the Kingdom and pro controller and let them even taken them home! Students are given tasks to explain things like the properties of certain devices in the game and even compete in a race to design a machine at the end of the class. Professor Ryan explains that the game uses a simplified version of something called CAD, which is used in real life to design machines.

Nice. My favorite moments in the game always involved me throwing together a device when my resources were limited, thinking my plan wasn’t going to work, and then successfully pulling off the objective. So damn satisfying.

I’m an uneducated plebeian but I have to imagine that as a university student, as cool as this may seem, I’d rather just have more conventional courses. At the end of the day is this worth the time, effort and money students are putting into it?
