Description
A fun, game-style workshop designed to help migrant students explore and “unlock” essential study techniques as if they were collecting tools for an academic adventure. Students will complete small challenges in time management, note-taking, and memory skills, earning “achievement badges” as they go. The goal is to
turn study habits into real-world superpowers — and to discover how the library is a vital part of their learning journey.
