Abstract In this paper we present a simple software tool, designed as a game, that can be used to make (especially primary) school students aware of the importance of control systems. An overhead crane model is used as an effective dynamic system to show the difficulty of applying manual control in some contexts and how a control system can help to achieve the required performance. In addition to the technical details of the tool, which has been developed in Matlab, the overall experience with the students is explained in the paper and some preliminary results of its use with people without expertise in control are discussed.
