My school is hoping to purchase more ThinkFun games to engage our students in logic and puzzle solving to become master problem solvers. These games help promote critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration, three crucial skills our students need in todays worlds. Our students love these games and learn to work together to solve problems and not give up. We are huge promoters of having GRIT and these games support that as students have to try again and again to solve the puzzles before them, as the puzzles get harder and harder. The games also incorporate coding which is a new skill more and more students are learning with new technology. They begin to learn the basic coding skills they will need as they become older and learn new technological skills. These games are the perfect opening for skills needed by future businesses. Plus students are having fun while practicing! It's exactly what kids need to be college and career ready for tomorrow's future!
