Join us for an exciting event that provides educators a chance for some hands-on learning with a variety of board games that you can integrate into any classroom. You'll learn how these games can build skills like, critical thinking, collaboration, teamwork and more! You'll build your own skills, develop a professional learning network, and learn how to adapt these games for use in your classrooms or schools.
