My Project

This project aims to provide students with educational board games that promote learning through interactive and hands-on experiences. Board games help students strengthen important skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, teamwork, communication, creativity, and decision-making in a fun and engaging way.

Many students learn best when they are actively involved, and board games create opportunities for collaboration, healthy competition, and social interaction while reinforcing academic and life skills.

These games also help build classroom community, encourage positive peer relationships, and provide students with a meaningful break from screen-based activities.

By incorporating board games into the classroom, students can develop confidence, patience, and strategic thinking while enjoying a welcoming and supportive learning environment where learning feels exciting and enjoyable.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
