It seems that playing Tetris has just become much more meaningful, since streamer Kyle Bosman decided to use it for the betterment of our world. Bosman is streaming himself playing numerous Tetris games over a span of 12 hours in order to raise money for Girls Who Code.

If you’re not familiar, Girls Who Code is a group that’s on a mission to “close the gender gap in technology” and to “change the image of what a programmer looks like and does.” They’ve shared that fewer than one in five computer science graduates are women, and they’re looking to help support women get into the field.
At the time of writing, Bosman is four hours and 30 minutes into streaming and has already managed to raise $4,630 USD. For every Tetris (or four-line clear) that he gets, Bosman will donate 50 cents to this charity. Currently, he’s so far gotten 271 of them. There is also a page that you can add your own donations to Girls Who Code, which you can find here.
If you check this out because you’re a big Tetris fan, you might also be excited to know that Tetris Effect Connected will be launching on the Nintendo Switch this October. This was revealed earlier this month during the Indie World Showcase, and we will be excited to try it out on October 8.
