My Project

Students need hands on experience with critical thinking and problem solving. The library provides a STEM center so all students and staff have access to the learning materials. These board games and card games will be available for all library visitors, ensuring that every child, regardless of their background, can benefit from communication and teamwork.

Many of our students come from low income households where access to board games is limited.

The library provides the missing link by allowing students to check out games for home use. This also encourages families to play educational games and bond while children learn to express their thoughts and learn valuable social skills.
