aMDI Develops Tool for Children to Earn Screen Time
Published July 6, 2017
A Grand Valley State University group has developed an app for a local entrepreneur that addresses a common concern among parents: the amount of time their children spend on electronics.
Grand Valley's applied Medical Devices Institute (aMDI) has developed Test 4 Time! (T4T), an app that makes children earn screen time on tablets and smartphones. T4T asks math questions for children in kindergarten through sixth grade. If they answer the questions correctly, they get the time.
"The app addresses a difficult challenge all parents have and allows parents to manage their child's time on a device while making the experience fun, educational and challenging," said Brent Nowak, executive director of aMDI.
