I am massively in favor of anything that teaches about computers in a fun way. But this project has extra awesomesauce: it basically presents a reality in which science and magic are the same (go quantum physics girls, go!) and it teaches that making mistakes is no big deal. You can debug on the fly, and if your character dies anyway, the level resets very quickly so the stakes are low. All of this encourages kids to try new things, experiment, fool around and see what happens.
