Kids learn best through play - and Adventerra's exciting eco games are a fantastic way to build science, reading, math, & social skills. Each player’s mission is to save resources and fight pollution, and the more they work together, the more exciting it gets! STEM.org authenticated & winner of 34 toy industry awards.
Because some kids are collaborative and others love to win, our board games are cooperative AND competitive to keep everyone engaged. Made of sustainable materials, all parts are compostable or recyclable.
WaterGame: Float down the river, draw cards that save and waste water, and answer quiz cards based on fourth grade science standards. The person who saves the most gallons wins the game. But if the community tank is empty when someone needs it, everyone loses – so teamwork is essential! Ages 7+
Recycle Rally: Drive your truck around town collecting objects to recycle. It’s a fast-paced race to pick everything up before time runs out! Ages 7+ with advanced rules for ages 10+
PowerHaus: Compete to make your house more energy-efficient, changing habits and investing in appliances and home improvements. Win by making the best choices for your wallet and the world. Ages 7+, and especially fun for 10+
Global Warning: Players work together to clean up pollution and slow climate change, but the temperature rises with each turn. Can your group slow it down before "Game Over" happens for you AND Planet Earth? Ages 10+, and popular with teens too!

Fashion Design: The Perfect Elective
Kids love shopping for clothes. They love talking about fashion designers. That’s what makes fashion design such a great homeschooling elective. Kids want to learn it. It just sounds fun! But, really, fashion design is a lot more than just fun.
Today’s designers create on computers. They’re sticklers for accurate measurements. They routinely use geometry to make patterns and to draw digital illustrations. They must learn the science and capabilities of today’s high-tech fabrics.
We cater to both super creative and not-so-creative students. After all, some kids are naturally gifted and can easily conceive of dramatic, new design ideas. Others are more technical and disciplined. They just want to know how to make an exact copy of something in a magazine.
We work by subscription. Our subscribers get unlimited, on-demand, access to over 500 video lessons taught by fashion industry professionals.
We have been around for more than eleven years. Most of our students are individuals living all around the world. Hundreds of colleges, high schools, and, yes, even grammar schools subscribe to our service and teach from our lessons online or in hybrid learning classrooms.
Come visit us at https://www.UniversityofFashion.com to learn more. Watch our video lesson previews. You’ll appreciate our simple, step-by-step, teaching approach. You’ll see that we offer a prominent way for students to ask us questions, too. We answer student questions every day, even on weekends.
