Summer, '23
There's so much happening with Chessin1day this summer, '23!
♟We have been hosting family & guardian classes because students learn best when they
continue practice at home with family. We've had parents, caregivers, guardians, grandparents take class alongside their kids and attend on their own!
♟Also new at Chessin1day are classes just for girls as we aim to close the gender gap in chess and have a big demand for these specific classes.
♟Upcoming this June at New Canaan Library, CT we will host a
Girls Chess Instruction & Pizza Party!
♟In our April class we were delighted to teach chess to high school
exchange students visiting from Argentina!
As always, we provide free chess classes, target our programming to underserved populations,
and continue to bring the benefits of chess to all.
