Making Technology Work for People
2010 July 28
Firsthand Technology knows how to play games, serious games that is. The National Institute of Health tasked them with creating a virtual reality, 3D game experience for kids that would teach them to improve their dental health, a major issue for young people.
The result is a truly awesome game led by it’s main character, “Dentisha”.
Firsthand has also produced other ‘serious games’ including a recent effort which helps veterans who have returned from Iraq & Afganistan with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Doing great work and “Making Technology Work for People”

What a great image for a great cause! You could invent any number of stories about this photo.
Thanks Barbara. The game really engages the kids, getting them to consider a difficult subject, and to act positively once they learn.
