We are working on a graphically-appealing electronic curriculum to teach chess to children. Our mission is to foster the intellectual and social development of low-income youth through chess education. We already have designs created by a Design4Change volunteer and now we want to translate the designs for the chess pieces into a font that will make it super-simple for us to set up own chessboards with pieces and positions.
Chess in the Schools fosters the intellectual and social development of low-income youth through chess education. Chess builds strategic and critical thinking skills, problem-solving, patience, concentration, and sportsmanship. Annually, we teach chess during the school day and after school in 40+ Title I NYC public schools, reaching 6,000 children in low-income communities. All of our services, including chess tournaments, are 100% free to all participants.
Thank you for volunteering to design for impact.
You application has been successfully submitted to the organization and will reach out to you soon. While you wait, you can explore other projects.
