A team from Michigan State University has built a game to help kids in Cambodia avoid land mines. More than 4 million land mines still litter the SE Asian country.

From the [LA Times](http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-cambodia-videogame-20110501,0,165583.story?ref=killscreen.com):

> “I think it’s fun, and it teaches me to be more careful,” said Chob Sopheak, 14, a tester in Phnom Penh whose neighbor was left maimed and deaf by an exploding mine. Like the two other girls playing that day, Sopheak had never used a computer but quickly adapted to the controls.
