Physics with Portals 
[…] In the media […]
Saw you on It Takes a Guild. I am just starting a career of game designer with my fourth grade students. I was wondering if you take requests. I would love three short videos on Newtons Laws using the puzzle maker. Or maybe you could assign your students to make them to teach my fourth graders here in California.
Hi Nathan,
Thanks for reaching out. I’m actually not teaching at the moment, which is too bad because I’d love for my students to teach yours physics. As for the videos, I haven’t made any Physics with Portals videos recently but I want to start up again soon. Maybe Newton’s Laws would be a fun topic to cover…
