Decision Traps for Teens

Our brains are wired in ways that can TRICK our logical thinking and cause us to make choices in ways that don't always make a lot of sense. Let's watch a movie & play a game! In our 90-minute game we will EXPOSE twenty of the most common biases and CREATE SOLUTIONS together. Don't forget to bring your own popcorn & favorite beverage!

This movie was written, directed, and created by young people to show decisions students face. Margo (the main character in the film) is trying to decide about her plans after High School. We will use this opportunity to talk about and unpack education & life choices. Many factors shape our frame – or, in other words, how each of us sees the world. 

We gamify learning to make it fun and memorable. Amy will introduce the topic for 15-20 minutes then lead the game, play the video, and facilitate interactive discussions. We provide the digital resources and discussion prompts. This course is facilitated by Amy Day and for large classes, Kristen Jawad comes as a guest co-facilitator from our nonprofit, Clarity4Action.org.

Students should expect a dynamic and fun classroom with activated and applied learning that addresses a variety learning styles. Our intention is to create an accepting, civil, supportive, and inclusive classroom.
