This post has nothing to do with the MBA or the GMAT - although if I felt like being creative I’m sure i could form some kind of tie in. BUT in reality, this is a shameless plug for a friend of a friend who is trying to launch a video game to help stop violence.
I’m sure everyone has heard theories about TV and video games contributing to kids being violent. Well, this video game is designed to teach kids to use skills other than violence to solve conflicts.
You can help kids learn from this game by voting for it in the Pepsi Refresh Project. The idea with the most votes will receive 250K to bring the idea to life. This video game has already started but the funding will enhance the game by adding 2 new levels, a module for teachers, enhancing graphics, adding a multi-player feature, and creating a web-based distribution system.
So, please vote NOW - it is simple and they don’t spam you. Vote for Game Changers.
