Challenge to Think in Games

Help me give my students access to challenging games to flex their minds in new and creative ways by providing unique experiences that they miss out on without you, like the Viking strategy game; or Chinese chess.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

I teach a spirited bunch of sprightly sprats who are inquisitively energetic learners, and many are not native speakers of English.

My students are inquisitive, energetic, eclectic, global learners.

Pre-existing lower-income and socio-economic demographics are considerably aggravated by language and cultural barriers. Nevertheless, students are eager to learn and divest themselves of previous woes. This funding opportunity will help supply some resources and bolster equitable access to education that connects them to a global community of learners free from linguistic barriers.

As a dedicated, technology-oriented educator, I merely seek resources to support students in such a direction to diverse the learning process and opportunities.

My Project

In this age of digital gaming and esports, many students are not used to "games" being a tradition to collaborate and challenge their minds, and each other, in new ways.

This project helps students connect with each other to challenge and grow in the tradition of playing games together, and giving them the opportunity to try games that they are unfamiliar with.

Your contributions are greatly appreciated to help grow the available games for our chess club, and emphasize the importance of play to help develop one's mind and foster a sense of community.
