Beginner Level
In this interactive gaming club, learners will sharpen executive functioning skills as they work through complex puzzles in a fun, 90s retro game. Each session brings a new set of challenges designed to promote problem-solving, teamwork, and critical thinking. Students will collaborate to solve puzzles, building skills in communication, decision-making, and creative thinking. The class fosters a supportive environment where neurodiverse learners can engage with one another, share ideas, and strengthen their ability to work as a team. Classes begin with a brief overview of the challenge, followed by gameplay where students actively contribute, either by giving directions, offering solutions, or collaborating on ideas. I’ll guide students through the process, providing hints when necessary and ensuring everyone stays involved. The class is structured to encourage participation while allowing learners to develop their own problem-solving strategies in a fun and inclusive space. Note: Students will complete this class entirely in the Zoom environment through Outschool. The teacher will screen share the game play, which learners will direct through speaking, typing, or screen annotation.
