 Right now girls who play video games are three times as likely to get a college degree in a STEM field that science, technology, engineering, and math. Kids who play games love to learn about the science behind games, and that is the future of work. Games are being used in an educational context more and more. For example, the game Minecraft has an educational version that supports teachers in helping kids understand computational thinking. And there are other games that help understand historical facts. One of the unique things about video games is it meets students where they are. So when you're playing a game, you're playing at the level where you're ready to play and you're advancing at the pace where you can advance. And that means that your education is being customized and your learning is really being maximized. A lot of people have this misconception that kids are wasting their time while playing video games. But what they're missing is that kids are actually building a variety of skills when they're playing. First of all, they're understanding the value of play and playing with others and building that sense of community. And second and more importantly, you're building these soft skills like perseverance and empathy that you get in no other form of entertainment media. When people are playing games these days, they're actually part of a community. It's the digital playground of the day. It's helping kids understand what others are going through because you're playing in character with other people. You're building empathy in how other people are living, how they're creating, how they're playing together. More and more games are looking at social good as an important outcome. Video games have the ability to reshape how we think about the future. But first in thinking about sustainability, more and more when we look at the environment, video games are being used as a way to teach people about climate change and sustainability. Video games are also being used in teaching people about conflict resolution all over the world. Video games are inspiring people to want to learn about the sciences and to be creators themselves. Video games are being used in healthcare, for example, to help kids understand what they're going through when they're going through cancer treatments. The game called I Hope lets them visualize how their bodies are fighting the bad cells. And that can actually bring about a lot of understanding in what they're going through.
