My Project

Our school's media center is an inviting space that features more than just books! Students can visit the media center to recharge during the day and many do just that. When they visit, they have access to a variety of puzzles and games to use in the space.

These puzzles and games will give students a variety of opportunities to build their problem solving, critical thinking, and collaboration skills while having fun.

The marble maze, balance game, sudoku style puzzles, and mosaic puzzles in this project will engage learners of all ages and build skills at the same time. There's a buzz of excitement as students work together on solving a puzzle or race to win a game. New materials will help us to keep this excitement going and growing and to build important learning skills through the rest of the school year.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
