My Project

These games offer interactive, story-driven experiences that immerse students in historical events, cultures, and decision making processes. They will not only reinforce key concepts but also encourage collaboration, critical thinking, and curiosity among my students. Many of my students thrive with hands-on learning, and these resources can make a meaningful difference in how they connect with the material.

As an educator, I believe learning should be engaging, interactive, and fun---especially when it comes to Social Studies, a subject that helps students understand the world around them.

My goal is to enrich my classroom with educational games that bring history, geography, civics, and culture to life.

Your support will help me create a dynamic and inclusive classroom environment where every student can explore the past, understand the present, and feel inspired about shaping the future.
