In each episode of the Inside Our MIND podcast, we take a look at issues and challenges facing education that we are working to address through research, technology and strategic initiatives.
In our latest episode, Brian welcomes Education Engagement Manager Calli Wright back to the podcast to talk about our new storybook board games, MathMINDs Games: South of the Sahara. Calli provides insight into the development of the games, from their origins at Math Fair to the iterative process of crafting stories that teach rules and allow for gameplay without facilitation.
You can find our more about the MathMINDs games and purchase them at mindresearch.org/mathminds-games.
There had to be a way to take that whole experience—going to the Math Fair exhibit, playing the games, experiencing some of the culture and history of where the games are from—and make it into something tangible, that we could actually give to families and they would be able to facilitate the experience entirely on their own.
-Calli Wright, MIND Research Institute
