Students will learn new mechanics in the game, how they function, and when to use them in order to see the connection of how we now live in a world where one is always learning (and there is no “end point” no matter what discipline you are studying.)
Students will analyze gameplay to better understand how the art of reflection improves performance across all pursuits.
