My Project

When students have down time at school, the tendency is to reach for their electronic devices. Recently, our state banned all personally owned electronic devices at school. In response to this I hope to stock our commons area with alternative activities that draw students together through cooperation and competition.

I want to increase our students' social interaction during down time by providing them with cooperative games like Jenga Giant.

Besides improving fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, spatial reasoning, and cognitive skills, Jenga Giant also encourages patience, concentration, and is a fun way to improve social skills and foster new relationships.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
