Would you help us test games designed to strengthen players socially and academically? Your feedback can help improve cooperative games.
You can help by playing games online in workshops facilitated by EnTeam Organization.
- Students can test games together.
- Families can help us test games for whole families to play together with other families.
You will be helping EnTeam Organization improve online games that are designed to build friendships and strengthen players socially and academically.
You need a device on the internet (computer, phone, or tablet with a web-camera) to play the collaborative games online.
Since communication is both oral and visual, it is important to see each other as you are playing. We will play with cameras on. Your camera must be on if you want to earn SSL credit.
- The games are collaborative: players lose together -- or win together -- depending on whether they can improve their combined scores each time they play.
- The EnTeam mission is to encourage educators – including parents – to use collaborative games that strengthen students socially and academically.
- You can learn more on the EnTeam website: www.enteam.org
You can see the rules for the games in the EnTeam Game Portal https://www.enteam.org/enteam-games/enteam-games/
You will earn SSL credit for each hour you participate in bridge-building games that are directly supervised by EnTeam facilitators.

- Students will only engage with others under the direct supervision of a nonprofit supervisor. The nonprofit supervisor will be directly present in the virtual space (including any breakout sessions) at all times.
- The nonprofit supervisor will initiate and host all virtual sessions. If the nonprofit supervisor is not available to initiate and host the virtual session, the session will not occur.
- Virtual sessions will not be recorded.
- Students should not share or upload any videos, pictures, or images of themselves, unless the nonprofit organization has obtained a signed form/waiver from the student’s parent/guardian authorizing permission/release.
- Students’ email addresses/home addresses or any personally identifying information will remain protected and not shared.
Student participation in this service project is at the discretion of the student’s parent/guardian. The nonprofit organization is responsible for maintaining student safety and privacy at any time the student is interacting with the nonprofit and its clients. The nonprofit organization will determine the number of SSL hours awarded based on the evidence submitted. Parents/guardians should contact the nonprofit directly with any questions and/or concerns. This service activity is designed to be completed within the safety of the student’s home.
