In this workshop, Girl Scouts will learn about the history of chess,
including its origins, the age of the game, and the medieval history
of the chess pieces, through storytelling. They will also learn the
movements, names, and values of the pieces and how to read the
chessboard.
In this engaging two-hour course, girls
will use their imagination to rewrite the history of the pieces,
promoting values such as equality and non-discrimination by
envisioning roles where soldiers can achieve certain statuses without
bias.
Parents are encouraged to download the Lichess
application for future learning. STEM the Gap Academy will guide them
on how to engage their daughters in learning chess through this
platform.
No prior chess experience or chessboards are
needed, as activities will be conducted using a virtual chessboard.
Girls will earn a chess patch with a knight charm and badge. The chess
patch is included.
No drop off
