Card Inventors
A card game designed by the class, tested against data and made fair
Designing a fair game requires observing, measuring and correcting. The class develops a single card game, within which each of the four teams builds its own deck and strategy. Matches are recorded and the results analysed to understand why one strategy prevails over the others; when a match reveals an ineffective rule, it is corrected, one change at a time. The programme thus offers a first, concrete approach to testing a hypothesis against data.

Bringing this programme to your school
A twenty-minute conversation, with no commitment, is enough to agree on the calendar, the number of sessions and how to adapt the programme to the classes involved.
