My Project

Our high school students are very excited to learn chess this year and compete in competitions and tournaments. Students this year are engaged and spend their free time learning the rules of chess and challenging each other. We need additional chess sets to teach the students.

Chess, and other games, are powerful learning tools that teach the upcoming generation useful skills.

Social interaction, deep thinking, and problem solving skills they will learn through these activities will help them in their future.

We are excited to offer an opportunity for students to learn chess and play other games during their free time on campus.
