INFORMS Student Chapter created a very fun activity (game) for kids to learn Optimization! There are two super heros (Batman and Superman) that want to compete to save the people in the city. Who saves the people faster will win the game. The location of the people are predefined and the same for two teams. Superheroes are line following robots. Kids will draw the lines for their superheros to meet each and every individuals in the city and save them. They should find the shortest path to draw and save the people as fast as possible. Here is the game's detailed directions.
