As you may know, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has been instrumental in 7 Generation Games growth. In fact, it’s not really an overstatement to say that you likely wouldn’t be here at all if it weren’t for USDA. We’ve received three grants from USDA to date for Small […]
We Loved USDA Even Before They Featured Us in Ed-Facts!
Here’s a real throwback Thursday for you, the first time anyone outside of our pilot testers at Tate Topa (in Fort Totten, North Dakota) played Spirit Lake. From Christmas, 2013 – Mom, can I help with something? (I think she meant making Christmas dinner.) Yes, you can go upstairs and […]
