Whether this is beneficial for kids is yet to be determined. There are many teaching systems that promise to make geniuses out of kids, and there is very little evidence to prove its benefits. It is safe to say that many past innovators grew up without tools such as Kodu, and did well by themselves. Some times games that entertain kids are mistaken as something that educate. It is important to differentiate between entertainment and education.&lt;/p&gt;
