Maps & Strategies
A strategy-centered class using map games to explore geography, terrain, movement, borders, resources, conflict, and long-range planning.
This class
- Students use self-paced work to build background in geography, map reading, history, and strategic vocabulary
- Weekly live online events build on that work through strategy map games, group decisions, play review, and discussion
- Students think about terrain, movement, borders, resources, tradeoffs, and decision-making over time
- The class can connect game situations back to real geography, historical patterns, and strategic choices
What families should know
- Games, platforms, and materials vary by session and are shared before kickoff
- Students should expect both gameplay and discussion-based analysis
- Different sessions may emphasize historical context, geography, or strategy to different degrees
- No advanced background is required unless a future session says otherwise
