At JumpStart, creators of the Math Blaster Virtual World, we value creative expression in making our games the most exciting learning tools that they can be for kids. In that tradition, Jumpeez and Blasters are encouraged through regular play to create and customize their avatars as exciting extensions of themselves and their interests.
