By focusing on communities facing financial difficulties and academic institutions stricken with educational shortcomings, this organization is dedicated to instilling within our youth the power of critical thinking and the knowledge to succeed. Dealing with the subjects of English, mathematics, statistics, economics, geopolitics, and communication; children will learn how to apply aspects of diff
erent board games to real-world scenarios. Session will take place in those schools that we aim to help immediately following normal school hours. Each session will put a spotlight on one subject, and consist of three parts:
1) The students will be taught the rules of the board game of the day.
2) Students will be given adequate time to play that day’s game in a friendly and encouraging environment.
3) After being given ample time to thoroughly play through the game, the children’s attention will be redirected to the session’s facilitator. The facilitator will point out aspects of the game that can be reapplied to real-world scenarios, and the children will be encouraged to have a group discussion on why those aspects of the game are important. Session will also take place at community libraries where everyone would be welcome to attend. This would be so students and parents will be able to see how Tabletop Teaching operates and helps children learn. Additionally, teachers will be asked to allow Tabletop Teaching to host demonstrations within during class hours in an attempt to encourage children to participate in the after-school activities.
