Idea about how to make LA a better place to connect, submitted by this organization in the 2020 challenge.
Make LA the best place to CONNECT
One of five LA2050 Goals
Our region is a place where every resident has the opportunity to engage and interact with other Angelenos and are empowered to contribute meaningfully in civic processes.
In 2050, Los Angeles will be the most civically engaged region in the U.S., with multiple online and offline platforms for residents to voice their opinions and influence elected officials, decision-makers, and local government. Our region’s voting rates and volunteerism will lead the nation, and an expanded network of transportation options will facilitate the easy flow of people and ideas.
Ava: A video game about space pirates and social situations
Our premier game series, Ava, is a space pirate-themed adventure game that breaks down social interactions through interactive dialogue and emotional systems, encourages self-advocacy, and reminds autistic youth that they belong with characters that represent and understand them. With the help of the MyLA2050 Grants Challenge, we'll be able to finish developing Ava and run subsidized pilots of our game with schools and autism service providers in the Greater LA area who need it most.
