In our experiment with Sqord, kids literally would not stop moving, jogging extra laps and hopping around while waiting to see their score.
"I even noticed that when I put it on, I wanted more points, so I went out and played a little soccer with my brother," said 13-year-old Morgan.
Like any good online tool, Sqord is slowly going viral, piquing the interest of YMCAs.
Pilot programs have begun in some Florida and Colorado schools.
The Sqord technology will be available to the public after the first of the year.
