Mechanical Engineering: Board Games for Daisies Badge and Chess Patch

Like Mechanical Engineering, chess focuses on enhancing critical thinking, problem-solving, and strategic planning skills. Join us for a two-hour program that teaches girls the fundamentals of chess, including piece movements, names, and values.

What's the spinner? As we learn chess, we will explore real-life applications, drawing parallels between chess strategies and real-life scenarios. We will show how the skills learned in chess can be applied in various aspects of life, such as decision-making and planning.

Parents are encouraged to download the Lichess application for future learning, and we will guide them on how to engage their daughters in learning chess through this platform.

Chess is an incredible way to teach girls critical thinking and life skills. Don't miss this incredible adventure!

Course Duration: 2 hours

Course Fee: $30 (includes patch but not badge)

Prerequisites: No prior chess experience or chessboards are needed, as activities will be conducted using a virtual chessboard.

Badge and Patch Earned: Upon completion of the course, students will receive a Chess Girl Patch with a pawn charm (or only a charm if they already have a patch), which will be mailed to their council at the end of each month. Additionally, girls will earn the Mechanical Engineering: Board Games for Daisies Badge, which can be purchased at the local Girl Scout store.
