Description
Learn to play this ancient Asian board game (ONLINE classes). Go is easier to learn than chess, yet it takes a lifetime to master. Learning to play Go develops the same skills you will find useful throughout your life: situation assessment, prioritization, balance and flexibility. Go is a useful element of a balanced STEM education.
Starting on an empty board, players take turns placing stones on the intersections of a grid. The objective of the game is to surround more territory than your opponent, while ensuring that your stones can’t be captured.
Format: four 90-minute sessions for 4 – 10 participants of all ages
