Abstract :
In this paper, we describe SABER - Simulator for Agent Based Education Architecture. SABER is an interactive simulation environment that employs methodology of agent based modeling and its agent-based and gaming hybrid simulation. Users can model virtual worlds and run the models on SABER. Our first target is children. Using SABER, children can understand the mechanism of a world by constructing and updating virtual worlds in tries and errors manners and through communication with mentors
