In this class, I will teach my students why video games can become very highly addictive and ways to overcome video game addiction. How the gaming industry makes $150 billion a year. Many video games including Roblox, Minecraft, Fortnight, Pokémon, Call of Duty, Among Us, Rocket League, Mario, Zelda are on the list for the most addictive games ever! This class is perfect for students aged 8 -18 years old. No experience is required to take this class. Once a learner has been verified per OS policy, this is a camera optional class.
