Project Whitecard's Robomath has become the second-most distributed educational tech game of all time as it nears 1.25 million Canadian students. In association with the Canadian Space Agency, the game matches school curriculum. The Winnipeg-based company is further working on a space multiplayer management game, an astronaut academy site and an astronaut handbook for NASA.

The multiplayer game will be sold to students and be available for download on the iPad. They also use crowdsourcing for new space ideas.

CEO Karl Shariff says 36.7% of iPad users are 24 or younger, and that parents on average spend $1000 on educational games a year. 

It was featued in the Canadian Interactive Showcase two weeks ago at Interactive Ontario's X-Summit.
