Remember your first video game experience? Unwrapping the SNES on Christmas morning. Visiting the Arcade with a roll of quarters. Hanging out with the lucky kid down the street with the latest Final Fantasy? Well some kids aren’t that lucky.

But there is something you can do to help.

Pixel Equity is a non-profit organization where you can donate games (or cash) that go to help families who can’t afford video games. Pretty cool idea.

“We’re a not-for-profit organization that is working with youth centers that serve children from households that can’t afford video games. We’ve talked with the administrators, who in turn have talked with the children, to determine the games and consoles that these kids want. But how do we get the games to them?

That’s where you come in.

By making a donation as little as $1.00, you can help bring games to these young people. One dollar might not sound like much, but it really starts to add-up as more people make contributions.”

I love their Why page.

“All games can be described as a series of challenges that players must overcome. This means that gamers are constantly devising and testing hypotheses about the game world to construct a working model of it. Or, in other words, informally utilizing the scientific method.”

The scientific method? An instant win in my book. Check them out and spread the word!
