WYFF4: Gamifying middle schoolers to high paying life sciences jobs

“Thanks to investments from Nephron Pharmaceuticals, SCBIO, the Power Team, the S.C. Hospital Association, all those and even more are helping us fund this game to bring it to life,” Ford said.

Ford said the game is specific to South Carolina, and will even be specific to different areas of the state.

Another point in which she takes great pride is the fact that South Carolina is the first state to gamify the life sciences.

The real game “win,” she said, will be keeping South Carolina’s intellectual capital in the state while filling the workforce pipeline.
