Oshkosh scavenger hunt promotes digital health to families

The Oshkosh Area Community Foundation is launching a scavenger hunt with five cartoon trolls to teach families about digital health.
The Oshkosh Area Community Foundation is launching the 'Smart Social Troll Hunt', a scavenger hunt with five cartoon trolls hidden across the city to promote digital health. Each troll represents online behaviours that can positively or negatively affect the community, including ragebaiting, passing judgment and repeating untrue information.
The idea grew from conversations with mental health professionals about how digital behaviour affects young people and families. Organisers said the goal is not to stop people from using technology, but to encourage more mindful choices online.
Karlene Grabner of the Women's Fund of the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation said: 'Success is people actually stopping and thinking about their digital health.' She added that digital health now needs to be concentrated on alongside mental and physical health. The hunt runs through Saturday, 17 October, with organisers hoping the lessons about digital literacy will extend beyond the scavenger hunt itself.
