CONNECT ·2024 Grants ChallengeProject GO Kart: Therapeutic Gaming Kiosks for Hospitalized Children
Project GO Kart (Gamers Outreach Kart) harnesses the therapeutic power of play to significantly enhance the health and wellness of hospitalized children in Los Angeles County. By providing a much-needed distraction during difficult therapies, painful treatments, and long-term care, GO Karts use video games to mitigate the effects of adverse childhood experiences and trauma. This initiative improves children's mental and socio-emotional health, empowering them to find joy and have fun even during the most challenging times of their lives.
