Intermediate Level
This course will expose learners to young African Americans who are excelling as S.T.E.M professionals and financial experts. To underscore the importance of creativity, we will play Mancala, a fun game that develops logical thinking. It was created in Africa over 3,000 years ago! Also, having all learners express their opinions is important to me. So, instead of lecturing for the entire class, I will invite them to share their thoughts, opinions, and experiences.
