Overview

The Northern Frontier ducks are starting their migration to their winter home, Restoria, and the CyberSquad is going along for the ride! Just like real ducks, cyberducks migrate from one region to another to find a warm place to live with plenty of good food and water. The flock needs to avoid obstacles and manage their energy while migrating to Restoria. The player’s mission is to work with the ducks to help them get to Restoria safely and find the best ponds to stop at along the way.

Duck Dash is a “born-accessible” interactive game designed for kids ages 6-8, featuring beloved characters from the PBS KIDS math and environmental adventure series, Cyberchase. Players explore the math concepts of how to manage, organize, display, and evaluate data using graphs, and the science concepts of migration and ecology.
