Fall 2021
Catalog of Adventure Groups & Math Workshops
Note: All adventure groups and math workshops for Fall 2021 will be held remotely over Zoom.
Adventure Groups
Adventure groups invite participants to engage in a role-playing game (RPG) that focuses on creative problem-solving, teamwork, and social connection. Each adventure is an interactive storytelling experience in which participants undertake an epic quest. Teams must collaborate to solve puzzles, find treasure, defeat monsters, and save the day!

Early Fall 2021: Chronicle of the Withering WoodlandsYou and your team of heroes are contacted by an emissary from the Council of Matriarchs, the wise and ancient guardians of the Ostmark Forest. Recently, a mysterious blight has befallen the woodlands, corrupting the plants and animals who live there. The Council calls for aid! Will our heroes ferret out the fouling factor and fix the flora and fauna?

Late Fall 2021: Chronicle of the Ominous ObeliskA collector of rare and valuable antiques visits you and your team of heroes for help acquiring a long-lost artifact from a remote crypt. The collector will pay handsomely for the item -- or even just evidence of its existence -- but of course there are reasons he is not trying to retrieve the artifact himself. Will our heroes endure the dangers of this dark and dusty dungeon?

Mathematics Workshops
Mathematics workshops are designed to encourage curiosity, courage, creativity, and collaboration in the problem-solving process. Students will encounter interesting puzzles which require an extended chain of reasoning to solve and which incorporate a variety of mathematical ideas. In each session, Jason combines his curated collection of mathematical puzzles with his decades of experience as a mathematics educator, to ensure that every participant engages in deep mathematical thinking, regardless of their current skill level.

Fall 2021: The Arithmetiquities Side QuestsJason's mathematical story, The Arithmetiquities, tells the tale of the Fellowship of the Twilight Tower, a quirky team of heroes on an epic adventure. In this mathematics workshop, participants will explore the Side Quests, a new collection of mathematical stories about the Fellowship and their exploits.
Each week, we will do an in-depth study of a side quest puzzle. Participants will tackle a challenging problem, discuss their strategies and solutions, and explore extensions to the original puzzle. Eight 1-hour sessions // $400 Click here to sign up for this workshop! Workshop for 4th, 5th, & 6th Graders
