My Project

These brain puzzles will be used to enhance their cognitive development, improve collaboration skills, and foster a love of learning that will last a lifetime.

With your support, I will be able to offer these valuable resources to my gifted students, ensuring that they are constantly challenged and motivated to reach their full potential.

Offering brain puzzles like Shut the Box, my students are able to strengthen their collaborative skills through brain engaging activities. Many gifted children prefer to work independently; these puzzle games are a comfortable way to break into working in groups.
