Strange as it may sound, spite was exactly why Child’s Play was founded in 2003. Child’s Play - based in the technology hub of Redmond, Washington, home to Microsoft and Nintendo in America - is a gamer-led charity driving the movement to bring video gaming to pediatric hospitals like Nemours and other non-profits that serve children across the nation and across the world.
Hear more about Child’s Play - its background, mission, and partnership with Nemours in both Delaware and Florida - from Erick Blandin, Pediatric Gaming Technology Manager for Child’s Play, and Nemours Gaming and Technology Specialist Scott Shaw, whose position is funded by a capacity building grant from Child’s Play.
