My Project

"Working Hard, Playing Harder, We Learn!" is a unique and innovative DonorsChoose project aimed at supporting students who are not neurotypical in their learning journey. Recognizing that traditional lecture-style teaching may not be effective for everyone, this project focuses on engaging these students through cooperative games and activities that facilitate skill development while making learning feel like play. By carefully selecting items that allow students to work together and learn without realizing they're in a traditional educational setting, "Work Hard, Playing Harder" fosters an inclusive learning environment where every student can thrive and discover their full potential.
