HopeLab starts Ruckus Nation

Posted by Ben Sawyer on 07-09-22

Our friends at HopeLab have started a new contest and while it's not 100% about video games entries can certainly be about games and the entire contest is inspired in part by programs like Generation Fit that get kids moving and exercising in new ways. Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is also a sponsor.

Congrats to HopeLab and good luck to all entrants!

HopeLab is looking for product ideas that will get kids moving!

Ruckus Nation is an online competition that challenges people to imagine innovative products that will increase physical activity among kids ages 11 to 14. We are inviting you to participate as a contestant or judge and to help us spread the word.

People of all ages can enter their ideas to Ruckus Nation and win — win the opportunity to help kids, win recognition for their idea, and win cash prizes. HopeLab will support the development, testing and distribution of products based on the best ideas, and more than $300,000 in cash and prizes will be awarded to winning entries!
