Description

Logic puzzle games make a significant contribution to children's cognitive growth, fostering their problem-solving abilities, logical reasoning and critical thinking skills – essential attributes that enable them to navigate complex academic tasks and life challenges with greater ease.

This class is created for students who embrace challenges and have an affinity for puzzles. Regardless of whether your child is a seasoned puzzle solver or a budding enthusiast, they will find this course intellectually stimulating and rewarding.
