We want to create an online, self-paced chess curriculum that is designed to be easily accessible and approachable for elementary school children. The custom design elements of the chess board, pieces, and potentially even a mascot will make our online class more appealing to kids. We aim to offer the online course mid-summer. Ideally, the digital graphics will be ready to use by June 1st.
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.
