Since most educational games struggle to find logical ways to be integrated into a classroom, Ovos took a different approach by creating a game based solely on curriculum-based material. The learning goals in the classroom directly mirror the game’s objectives, creating an experience where both are parallel to one another.

One of the nonprofits that inspires me locally here in Santa Cruz is a youth empowerment and food justice organization called "Food, What!?" The farmer-turned-activist is ready to sell struggling teenagers on something they may want in their hearts but don’t know how to access: a ticket to a meaningful life. Hanging out.

Have Fun - Do Good

MARCH 13, 2009

I find it helps keep life in perspective. There are also tons of nonprofit organizations, like Streetside Stories (where the book cover image above is from), that work during the school day, and after school to supplement the schools' curriculum. I had a blast, and hopefully it was a fun learning experience for him too.
