Nickelodeon has released a new app based on the hit show Blaze and the Monster Machines. The app introduces kids to a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) curriculum by letting them build racetracks for monster truck Blaze and his driver AJ to compete on. Kids will learn about acceleration, adhesion, force, friction, and more as they help the duo.

The app features 15 levels of increasing difficulty, three locations with different environmental obstacles, power ups, tilt and swipe controls for driving, and the ability to save up to 12 courses in each location.

Blaze and the Monster Machines is $3.99 on the App Store, so rev your engines and start downloading.
