Positive Gaming sponsors TEN at AAHPERD 2011

iDANCE and TEN in San Diego!

Positive Gaming is the sponsor with TEN T-Shirts as the Official uniform of the Exergame Workshop: Oceans of Opportunities 4 Better Health, spearheaded by SUNY Cortland.
This experiential multidisciplinary workshop will focus on how exergames (video games that require physical exertion to play) can be used as a means to accumulate more physical activity in today’s sedentary society. Our panel will lead live demonstrations and competitions on the use and benefits of exergames in schools, fitness clubs, and at home. Don’t miss your chance to meet the leaders in exergaming from education, health care, advocacy, fitness, research, manufacturing, and marketing.
The sessions will include presenters from many different aspects of the exergaming world, with support from SUNY Cortland students running demonstrations on stations such as iDANCE2, Gamercize, Xavix and Exergame Station.
The event will take place on Tuesday 29th March from 8:00AM in San Diego and has a Facebook group where you can ask the experts, pick up information and follow the sessions if you cannot attend in person.
Huge thanks to Positive Gaming for the sponsorship of the TEN uniforms with their showcase product iDANCE2, which will be in the forefront of the workshop. Thanks also to Jill from www.bstreethill.com for helping TEN out with the production of the Tees at seriously short notice!
