Following a creative and proven curriculum written by 5-time CO State Champion Lior Lapid, STEM School Chess Club brings humor, stories, and hands-on "chessercizes" to help students apply lessons both on and off the board. Our goal is to make chess learning fun while teaching valuable critical-thinking and life skills in every class. Students calculate options and evaluate their consequences, reinforcing planning skills, learning from mistakes, overcoming obstacles, and practicing visualization techniques to think a few steps ahead. Monthly scholastic tournaments will be held on Saturdays. Whether playing in competitions or just for fun, your child will LOVE learning with PALS!</span></span><span class="p-span"><span style="font-size: 13.6px;"><b>Registration opens Friday, October 6th</b></span></span><span class="p-span"><span style="font-size: 13.6px;"><b>Thursday afternoons: 2:30 - 3:30 pm</b></span></span><span class="p-span"><span style="font-size: 0.85rem;"><b>2nd Quarter Session: Oct 26th to December 14 (No club on 11/23)</b></span></span><span class="p-span"><b><span style="font-size: 0.85rem;">Cost: $105 per student</span></b><span style="font-size: 17px; font-weight: bolder; text-align: var(--bs-body-text-align);"> </span><span style="font-size: 17px; font-weight: bolder; text-align: var(--bs-body-text-align);">- 7 Weeks</span><b><br></b></span><span class="p-span"><span style="font-size: 0.85rem;"><b>Open to students: Kindergarten - 5th grade</b></span></span></span><span class="p-span"></span><span class="p-span"><span class="p-span"><span class="p-span"><span style="font-weight: bolder; font-size: 13.6px;">Questions: please contact melanie.fitzroy@stemk12.org</span><span style="font-size: 13.6px;"><b><br></b></span></span></span></span><span class="p-span"><span class="p-span"><span class="p-span"><span style="font-size: 13.6px;"><b>A limited number of scholarships are available each quarter for families in need of financial assistance.
