what are teens saying?
Students say that designing games with iThrive Studio:
“… has definitely given me confidence in what I think I can do, but it also helped me think about how I could build off of other people’s ideas in order to reach one progressive goal.”
Youth, 13, from the Boys and Girls Club of Fitchburg and Leominster
“…helped me to understand myself more and how I felt, and this program also helped me understand how I thought my friends would feel and if we could work together to find a solution to the games.”
Youth, 14, from the Boys and Girls Club of Fitchburg and Leominster
