Example project
Pet Central! by Jessica McGinnis
Pet Central is a game for 6-10 year olds where you chose a pet, customize it, and interact with other pets in the world!
There is a chat filter that censored inappropriate language by our standards (No words like "stupid", swear words, phone numbers, passwords, and addresses.) There will also be constant moderators that monitor the chat rooms, and players who infringe on the rules will first be warned, then suspended on second offense, and banned on third offense.
Pet Central will include 10 different games, such as pet rock paper scissors, tic tac toe, fashion show, pizza making, doctor, and more!
Pet choices include: Hamster, parrot, cat, dog, lizard, snake, and horses.

How does Pet Central positively affect kids?
Pet Central will enhance socio-emotional development by encouraging kids around the world to communicate safely and have fun at the same time! Many children experience timidness, and Pet Central will also be a way for shy children to expand their horizons and enhance their social skills.
There are games on Pet Central including word searches, puzzles, checkers, and math problems that will also give children a fun way to learn!
