What are your goals for this project?

Our goals include enhancing student engagement, building community and connection, developing essential skills, and promoting inclucitivity and diversity through enjoyable and enriching card game experiences.

What makes your students special?

Our students are a vibrant community of learners who possess unique talents, interests, and perspectives.
