In August 2024(08/12-08/13), Chess+Math Lab was honored to offer a free pilot chess program at BCYF Hyde Park. The invigorating two-day program taught basic chess rules and tactics to an enthusiastic group of 18 students aged 8-12. Whether new to the game or a seasoned player, the kids enjoyed the thrill of strategizing together. With the warm support from BCYF Hyde Park Director Kindell, Chess+Math Lab hopes to collaborate with BCYF in future chess programs including coaching the BCYF youth chess team to enrich and empower inner city communities.
