My Project

This project aims to provide engaging brain teaser activities for students to enjoy each morning while waiting for classes to begin. Instead of spending this unstructured time in the gym, students will have the opportunity to participate in puzzles, logic games, and hands-on brain challenges that stimulate critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. These activities will create a calmer, more focused start to the school day, reduce behavior issues, and foster a love of learning. By replacing idle or disruptive waiting time with meaningful enrichment, students will enter their classrooms energized, engaged, and ready to learn.
