“Rainy Daze” Harm Reduction Application Wins Silver Prix d’Excellence

Posted on Friday, June 9th, 2017

The Office of Applied Research and Innovation at Algonquin College would like to congratulate everyone involved in the “Rainy Daze” application. Rainy Daze was recently Awarded the Silver “Prix d’Excellence” by the Canadian Council for the Advancement of Education (CCAE). The application was created entirely by Algonquin College students, in partnership with the Office of Applied Research & Innovation, and the Umbrella Project.

Rainy Daze is a harm reduction application intended to inform the user about harm reduction and harm reduction techniques. The app features a series of mini games built around specific harm reduction concepts. The game is targeted directly to the college student demographic and addresses specific situational awareness and provides the user non-judgmental feedback and positive reinforcement of established harm reduction approaches.

Try the game for yourself on the Umbrella Project website – Play Rainy Daze
