Kid finds fun and profit in science
Despite concerns over declining interest in science among Japanese children, they're taking to a card game using atomic symbols. In the game "Chemistry Quest," players match cards to make different molecules. The game has sold 47,000 copies, a breakthrough in the competitive game industry, in which sales of 10,000 are considered a hit. The developer, Yuito Yoneyama, is in the 7th grade. He also happens to be the president of the company. These days, he is busy holding seminars and delivering speeches, as he tries to let people know the fun of learning chemistry by playing the game. Yoneyama has also developed smartphone applications he hopes will sell around the world.
