STEM Connection

HFA1012

This game, while seemingly innocent, provides important cognitive value for developing minds.  The game taps into the working memory and attention control aspects of the brain. In essence, these are the parts of brain that help one focus, observe immediate information, process that information into rapid action, and basically be present.  All of these traits can be difference makers in our future STEM-ologists.  We owe it to the young minds around us to play Simon Says - the future of STEM depends on it...in a way.
