Generation Cures is a safe, free online community for kids created by Children's Hospital Boston. The site uses animated stories, interactive games and original kid-directed videos to teach kids about the power of philanthropy and its potential to make the world a better place. Along the way, they learn about science and medicine and strengthen their skills of logic, critical thinking and creativity.
