My Project

Modern board games have come a very long way from what many of us remember from childhood. Almost all games teach, and the kinds of games that both have engaging educational content and are fun has grown exponentially. Games engage the learning process of testing information in a feedback learning loop differently from other forms of learning, while also engaging students together around a table, building communication, executive function skills, soft skills, critical thinking, and resilience. I am building and refining a fantastic board game library of games with educational value that is open to all the students in my school.
