Interactive educational tool
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions associated with an interactive education tool stored thereon, the instructions executable by a processor to:
- cause a plurality of mobile devices to each represent a respective physical component, wherein an interaction between at least two of the plurality of mobile devices causes;
a formation of a particular portion of a representation of a physical system; and
a display of the particular portion of the representation of the physical system by the at least two of the plurality of mobile devices; and
aggregate a number of particular portions of representations of the physical system caused by a number of interactions between a number of the plurality of mobile devices to form a collaborative response associated with achieving an assigned common objective of forming the representation of the physical system.

Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods associated with interactive educational tools are described herein. One device includes instructions executable by a processor to cause a plurality of mobile devices to each represent a respective subsystem associated with an objective, cause an interaction between at least two of the plurality of mobile devices to represent a relationship between the respective subsystems represented by the at least two mobile devices, and aggregate a number of interactions between the at least two of the plurality of mobile devices to form a coordinated response associated with achieving a particular objective.

6. A system for providing an interactive educational tool, the system comprising:
-
a number of computing devices including processor and memory resources and configured to transmit a set of computer-executable instructions that when executed by a number of mobile devices cause; a first mobile device to simulate a first component of a physical system associated with an educational objective; a second mobile device to simulate a second component of the physical system associated with the educational objective, wherein the second component is functionally different than the first component; and a collaborative interaction between the first and second mobile devices, caused by respective users of the first and second mobile devices, to simulate a collaborative relationship between the first and second components; each of the first mobile device and second mobile device to display the simulated collaborative relationship; wherein the simulated collaborative relationship forms a simulation of at least a portion of an interconnected physical system, and wherein achieving the educational objective includes forming a simulation of the interconnected physical system. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computing device for implementing an educational tool, the computing device comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory having computer-executable instructions stored thereon and executable by the processor to; provide an educational objective to a number of members of a team, each of the members using a respective mobile device simulating a respective functionally unique physical component, wherein the educational objective is achieved responsive to the team forming a simulated physical system using a particular configuration of the simulated physical components; and receive a collaborative response associated with achieving the educational objective, the collaborative response formed by a number of collaborative interactions between the mobile devices used by the members of the team; wherein the number of collaborative interactions simulate collaborative relationships between the respective components, and each collaborative relationship between the respective components simulates a formation of a particular portion of the simulated physical system. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
