Nationwide Cogno Board Game Sampling With Teachers

In July we decided to try sampling our Deep Worlds space/science board game through the National Science Teachers Association. We asked for teachers around the country who would like to test our game in their classroom to email me their feedback. We had a great response and ended up sampling more than the 200 board games we had originally envisioned.

We got dozens of wonderful reviews from the teachers and their students. Ann Marie Jakubielski a science teacher at St. Joseph School in Norwich, CT had this to say about her Cogno experience:

"I have started to play Cogno with my 7th grade students and they LOVE it! When they get a question and answer it, wrong or right, we look it up in the Book of Y to read more about it. I am continually hearing 'Wow! I didn't know that!' We have set up an ongoing game in the classroom that we return to whenever there is time. If you give my students a choice between Cogno and recess, they will unanimously choose Cogno every time. As a teacher I love that fact that the students are learning something new and that it is done in such fun and enticing way. Thank you for a great game!"

Thanks to Ann Marie and other teachers who participated in our sampling program! More teacher testimonials are on the Press & Testimonials page on our web site.
