Pittsburgh's Click!Online, a spy game for girls, wins prestigious MacArthur grant, reports Pop City.
Click! The Online Spy School was one of 10 winners of the MacArthur Digital Media and Learning Competition, which promotes novel uses of new media and learning in the STEM fields of science, technology, engineering and math.
"The concept was developed to augment the Click! camp experience and close the gender gap between girls and gaming," explains Emily Sturman, assistant director of GMSP. "The game will give girls an engaging and enriching alternative to the violent video games that are so prevalent today."
