Program Description

Event Details

Brain Powers teaches the game of chess and other games rooted in concentration of thought and strategic principles for K-12 and adults, offering class and one-on-one instruction.  Teaching the tactics and strategies of chess, and other contemplative games, we equip students with life skills development and improvement beneficial to areas such as overall academic performance, critical thinking, problem solving, personal finance comprehension, and emotional intelligence.  These studies help build memory, thinking speed, and accuracy, including learning from mistakes and turning them into positive life lessons. 

For this K-12 Beginner-Intermediate class, learn the game and how to craft effective and creative solutions to victory!  Cultivate character-building life skills like strategy, tenacity, delayed gratification, accountability, resilience, and much more!  Each week students will be learning a specific principle or group of principles central to chess from a seasoned instructor highly skilled in the game, through interactive instruction, with challenge application to example opponent board positions and partnered in-class pairings with peers, promoting immediate reinforcement of the class teachings.
