Mariam Nusrat (@gamingfordev) - Go For It

Mariam Nusrat is the Founder of the social venture GRID - Gaming Revolution for Inspiring/International Development, and an Education Specialist at the World Bank. Under GRID, Mariam is working towards mainstreaming video games as a medium for behavior change. Games have the power of what Mariam likes to call "the three Is"; they can interact with the players in an iterative way to inspire change. GRID games focus on social and behavioral change around women’s health, racial and gender stereotyping, sanitation and hygiene, STEM learning, climate change, and financial literacy. 

Mariam has presented GRID at several high-level forums including, two sessions moderated by President Clinton at CGIU Meetings and two Tedx events in DC. She is also the recipient of the CGIU Honor Roll Alum award, 2018 AdamStart Entrepreneurship Award, 2015 Andrew E. Rice Award for Leadership and Innovation by the Society of International Development, the Knapp Fellowship, and the GWU Public-Service Grant Commission Award. Since its launch GRID has received extensive media attention with articles in Huffington Post, Washington Post, Daily Mail UK, Yahoo News, and other mainstream news channels and was included in the DC Inno 50 on Fire companies.
