Support Reading Rainbow By Buying an Ouya

Support Reading Rainbow By Buying an Ouya

One of the most successful Kickstarters in recent times wasn’t for a video game at all. It was LeVar Burton’s very own Kickstarter to re-start Reading Rainbow , an awesome cause to be sure. The Kickstarter has raised over $4.5 million dollars, but the fundraiser isn’t over yet. You can now get an Ouya for helping bring books to children everywhere.

By pledging at least $250, backers will get a limited edition “butterfly in the sky blue” Ouya console, and a matching controller hand-signed by LeVar Burton. If LeVar’s magical signature isn’t valuable enough for you, you can just get the Ouya itself if you donate $175.

So why the Ouya? Well first of all, the Ouya is one of the more successful Kickstarter projects out there. Second of all, they are looking to bring Reading Rainbow to consoles, and if they manage to make five million dollars, the Ouya will be one of those consoles. Now you can play video games and learn about classic literature at the same time.

So take a look. It’s in a book. A reading rainbow!
