Edinburgh software publisher Crocodile Clips is to supply its modelling software for science and technology to schools in Egypt. Working in partnership with Egyptian IT specialist Orctech, and the US development agency USAID, the software will be rolled out early in 2009.
Crocodile Clips will develop Arabic versions of its physics, chemistry and mathematics modelling tools. The software products are virtual laboratories, which allow students to experiment safely and easily in a virtual world. The Arabic localisations add to the growing list of languages into which the software has been localised, including French, Japanese, German, Spanish, Chinese, Indonesian, Dutch and Russian.
