Class Experience

In this class, students will be presented with an ongoing adventure of mind-bending 21-century skills exercises to solve. There will be rounds for individuals and rounds with time to collaborate in a team to get to the solution. We have more codes than time to solve. 

Lesson 1:
1. We will have fun testing our brain with paradigm-busting activities that need reasoning and analysis. These include recall and recognizing exercises. 
2. We will solve over 20 brain teasers that involve logic, math, humor, & 'detective' like skills. We will work together in a group and as individuals. 

Lesson 2:
3. We will cover activities that require disguising & visualization followed by exercises that require following directions & classifying. 
4. Puzzles and brain busters that test sequencing and predicting skills followed by inferring & drawing conclusions. 
5. We will walk over understanding how we got to each solution (analyzing & synthesizing) so they can tease their family at the dinner table.

For both sessions, we'll use gamification, laughter, and be sure to have a 'safe place to not know'. This experience will test prior knowledge and their ability to be resourceful to find the answers.
