Hyperbole in title. MakeGamesWithUs has not cracked the education code. They are working with and for extremely motivated students. There are many problems with education that I see my teacher and school administrator friends face. One of them is how to approach the students who don't want to learn. MakeGamesWithUs enables motivated students to complete a game app within a relatively short time period by offering up a esprit de corps and creative/design resources that can help the student fulfill her initial vision. If they can figure out to replicate what they are doing (my guess is the tight-knit community of mentors and project management they have in-house is the secret sauce) to other locations and possibly to outside the Palo Alto bubble, then they may be onto something. Until then, they are a very attractive (and increasingly competitive) summer internship of sorts for kids who are going to/have graduated from some of the best high schools in the country.
