Ideas worth spreading

Technology Therapy

Jennifer Turliuk • TEDxStMaryCSSchool

There is art therapy, music therapy, play therapy, etc - but what about technology therapy? At MakerKids - which teaches coding, robotics and Minecraft to kids through camps and after-school programs - we have seen incredible mental health developments in our participants. Mental health professionals are recommending us because of the results they have seen with their clients. MakerKids CEO will share stories of the amazing transformations we have seen, and share more details on how using technology together in positive ways can boost mental health.
