My Project

Who doesn't like to play strategy games? Why not play and learn about magnetic force at the same time while strengthening critical thinking skills. Let's bring those STEELS standards and PA Common Core Math Standards together as students enjoy collaborating while they are engaging in hands-on problem-solving skills.

Kolide will not only enhance our STEAM lessons but also level the playing field for our students, allowing them to explore and develop skills that are increasingly vital in today's economy.

Kolide will provide my students with a fun and exciting way to learn about North and South poles and how they attract and repel each other. Kolide combines strategy, patience, and each move becomes more critical as the players try to outsmart their opponents. I would love to extend this to Kolide competitions as well. Where each classroom the winners would play each other and at the end of the week we could have those winners compete to see the Ultimate KOLIDE winner of the school.

Our students come from multiple countries and we have many different languages spoken at our school. Playing strategy games help students learn and bring students together as well. Unfortunately, many students in our school, particularly those from underprivelaged backgrounds, lack the resources and opportunities to engage with hands-on materials outside of school. Adding Kolide to our STEAM program would foster problem-solving skills and collaboration amoung students.
