Logic and Critical Thinking ClubThis club is designed to introduce children to the techniques that can be used to make sound decisions based on the facts given. Through the use of logic puzzles, lectures and discussions, games, and programming, children will understand terms such as statements, conclusions , evidence, inferences, beliefs, claims and truths. The ultimate goal will be for students to learn HOW to reason, and make sound decisions based on information presented, AND how to SEARCH for facts to make better, more informed decisions. Fallacies as well as coding logic (If, else, then) will also be discussed.
