Earn the Juniors Playing in the Past and Chess Patch with STEM the Gap Academy!
In the Juniors Play in the Past Badge and Chess Patch workshop,
girls will learn the basics of chess, including the names of the
pieces, their values, how they move, and how to set up and read the
board. They will also explore the fascinating history of the queen in
chess. The game initially had an all-male army, but over time,
powerful queens in history, including Queen Isabella, helped shape how
the queen piece became the most important in the game. In this
workshop, we'll dive into the queen's historical evolution, discuss
what empowers them like the queen.
