If you give a liberal a latte, he'll need to know whether it was made from fair-trade, eco-friendly coffee beans. Now wildly caffeinated, the burro will takes the young women out on the high seas, to a meeting with a pair of foreign bears, and to a place where money seems to fall like rain.

Myzantium Inc. Launches Wonga Bazaar - an Entertaining App for iPad

Wilmington, DE    May 28, 2012

[prMac.com] Wilmington, Delaware - Myzantium Inc. launched an early preview of Wonga Bazaar, a unique iPad app that lets users vicariously experience the ups and downs of a village economy in an earthly and colorful ambience. Wonga Bazaar lets a trader buy or sell a versatile range of commodities in an authentic marketplace where market impacting events are delivered through a traditional drumbeat. The preview version has a beginner level with many more levels planned.

Founder Nat Ramachandran cites an article by Professor Greg Mankiw of Harvard in The NewYork Times as the inspiration behind the creation of the app. In a NewYork Times column of 2010, Prof. Mankiw writes, "With the rise of 401(k) plans and the looming problems with Social Security, Americans are increasingly in charge of their own financial future. But are they up to the task?" Mr. Ramachandran continued, "In the aftermath of the 2008 Financial Crisis it struck me that traditional ways of learning about finance are too abstract and disconnected."

Mr Ramachandran says, "I thought of coming up with a solution which could be fun and educational. Me, and my co-founder, Kannan Mahalingam, were inspired to create Wonga Bazaar, where you can learn basic finance through role playing and experience the fluctuations of a business cycle without bankrupting your 401(k). This is targeted at the socially connected and mobile youngsters who can learn from their own and each other's experiences."

The app creatively showcases the fluctuations of demand and supply in an entertaining manner. Despite the complexity foisted by the world of modern finance, the app distinguishes itself by showing the simplicity involved in trading within a self-contained village ecosystem. Events in Wonga Bazaar range from the seasonal weather changes to the autocratic whims of the Prince and culinary experimentations of the Princess of Wongaland. The trader has to constantly make a choice between timing the market and holding a diversified portfolio of commodities and navigate the challenges endured by a village economy.

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* 18.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Wonga Bazaar Lite 1.0 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Entertainment category.

New Middle School Science App for iPad, iPhone, and iPod

Longmont, CO    May 16, 2012

[prMac.com] Longmont, Colorado - Monkey in the Middle Apps announced the launch of their new educational game, Middle School Science 8th Grade, which is available now from the App Store. While flying a monkey through space and avoiding asteroids, students answer questions on middle school science topics. Joining the existing Middle School Math 7th Grade and Middle School Vocab 7th Grade apps, Middle School Science 8th Grade help fills the "app gap" for middle school (junior high) students.

Fun for Students:
"Middle school science is when students start to learn how the world works - from atoms and cells, to planets and galaxies, and everything in between." explained Andrew Meier, co-founder and CTO. "It's fascinating and I want students to be successful and continue taking science in high school and college."

Designed for Teachers:
While it's fun for students, this app has been designed for teachers. Teachers can track progress for an entire classroom using either score emails or web based reports. The topics have been carefully chosen to match common textbooks and core standards. Each quiz also includes review notes and links to online tutorials and videos.

Prepare for 8th Grade Science testing:
In the spring of 8th grade, all students in the United States take a standardized science test. Because this test covers topics learned over the three years of 6th, 7th, and 8th grade, it is especially helpful to review. The free app includes four quizzes: Matter, Geology, Astronomy, and Weather. The Pro version adds quizzes on Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Experimental Method, Periodic Table, and Energy.

Pricing and Availability:
Middle School Science 8th Grade works on all versions of iPad(R), iPhone(R), and iPod touch(R). It is free and is available now from the App Store. Middle School Science Pro 8th Grade is also available now from the App Store for 99 cents. A 50% educational discount is available through the Apple Volume Purchasing Program for Education.
