An Invitation from the Director

 

 

This past semester, with the help of the MIT Engineering Outreach Programs Office, I was able to incorporate the Massachusetts Academic Games League of America (MAGLOA). The Academic Games league has so far provided over two dozens students from the Boston, Cambridge, and Lawrence areas with an outlet that has enriched their thinking and learning. It has given them more to look forward to in education because the materials learned in Academic Games are what the normal school curricula do not offer.

So far, within a 2-months time span, twenty-five high school students have learned Set Theory and Analysis, Techniques of Propaganda and Persuasions, High-level Math Thinking, Counting in other Number Systems by Converting to Base 8 and 9, and a Complex and Advanced Algebra curriculum that is not even taught at MIT.

On behalf of all the coaches and members of the Massachusetts Academic Games League of America, I invite you to connect with us to talk about the opportunities that can get you on board to join us in CREATING A LEGACY.
