Academic Fine-Print for Grownups:Students in this class will make imaginary characters. They will interact as their characters to save Atlantis from being torn apart by monsters from Greek mythology.
Students will be immersed in real-world history via a fictional, fantastical narrative. Optional homework about the different cultures will be assigned, and they can gain credit in the game for completing it. Students will gain insight into different cultures and methods of storytelling, as well as teamwork, improvisation, and math skills.

Dates and Location:
Section C: Ages 12+ will meet on Wednesdays from 4-6pm Eastern, and will run from Wednesday, May 7, 2025 through Wednesday, June 18, 2025. (No class on Wednesday, May 28.) All 6 classes will be held over Zoom.
Requirements: Age 12+, or at the instructor's discretion. No prior knowledge or experience of Dungeons and Dragons is required, as instructions for creating a character will be sent ahead of time. Students will be given access to an online dice roller, so physical dice are not required.
Class Etiquette: I expect and require gentle, respectful language in my classes, and ask that all students come to class prepared to treat each other with kindness. These classes are a great opportunity for your kiddos to practice social/soft skills, with the underlying perspective that we’re all in this together.
