Join Tami, the golden lion tamarin, in Tamis Tower as she strives to reach delicious fruit by constructing a tower. Be cautious of other animals that may cause the tower to collapse. Developed by the Smithsonian Science Education Center, this game focuses on teaching students basic engineering design principles through engaging gameplay.

Aligned with educational science standards for kindergarten to second grade, Tamis Tower is tailored for emergent readers. It incorporates metacognitive prompts for self-assessment and provides teachers with a summary screen to evaluate student responses. With an in-game tutorial, students are introduced to engineering design concepts and learn how object shapes influence functionality. Encouraging reflection on design attempts, students can also create custom levels in Sandbox mode, making it suitable for both classroom and home use.
