Testimonials
On top of being educational, it also was an extremely fun experience, strategizing and scheming with people that I hadn’t really gotten to know yet.
Daniel,Student, Year 12…an engaging way to develop skills in critical thinking, collaboration, articulation and argumentation that have real world value.
Cheryl McArthur,Gifted Education TeacherThe students were totally engaged. It was fun. It was challenging. It was unpredictable. This was a game that doesn’t treat children like children … The students had agency and a voice.
