Project Title: Inclusive Play
Mission:
How can we include everyone in play by creating new games to play?
Culminating / Take Action Project
Create a marble maze game to play with others.
What Kids Learn
Did you know that many people struggle with feeling lonely? One way to combat loneliness is asking someone to play. In this project we will learn about the problem of loneliness, why people feel lonely, how play can help, how we can use science (like pushes and pulls) and creativity to create new games that we can play with others and ways we can help everyone fight loneliness. Kids will then use what they have learned about pushes and pulls to create their own marble maze game and practice including everyone to play together.
