Generation Cures - make it better

Learning as a Family

At Generation Cures, we encourage you to follow your kids' lead and take an active role in their gaming, learning and fundraising experience. It's a great way to have fun, learn and spend time together.

Some parents may choose to sponsor their kids, then play along in Caduceus and help them solve the more difficult puzzles. Others might talk with their kids about the social issues in Zebrafish or the real-life experiences of children in our Kid Videos.

As kids explore and progress through the site's content, they are bound to have questions such as "Why do kids get sick?" and "What can I do about it?" They also may be curious about the scientific and medical content of the stories. This is why, while Generation Cures may be focused on kids, it's something the entire family can become engaged in.
