About the Course
In this class, the kids will play Dungeons and Dragons. It is a fantasy based role playing game where they will design their own characters, create backstories, and act out the persona of who they decide to be. There is a lot of dice rolling, calculating effects of their roles, and they will gain a much better understanding of probability through game play. Jack has been playing the game for years and would love to share his enthusiasm and knowledge of the game to those who are interested in playing. There is no class on October 31, November 21 and November 28
