Training course for chess tutors, teachers and parents

Learn how to develop STEM skills & how to teach 6–12-year-old children through games and puzzles on the chessboard

Chess & Logic training course introduces algorithmic thinking and the elements of logic to 6–12-year-old children through games and puzzles on the chessboard. The course is similar in content to the ECU102 Teaching Mathematics through Chess course with a younger target age in mind: the games are strategically simpler, and the investigations more straightforward throughout. The content is wrapped up in a fairy tale where the characters get muddled up in thrilling adventures.
