My Project

These Chess Sets will make a difference in my students' lives by teaching them how to think critically and be better problem solvers by learning the game of chess. Playing chess significantly improves children's visual memory, attention span, and spatial-reasoning ability. Chess is similar to school in that concentration and memory go hand in hand. The top five benefits of playing chess include deepening focus, developing perspective, improving memory, elevating creativity, and increasing self-awareness. Please help us make this happen for our class. We appreciate your generosity! Thank you so much!
