Mythic Adventurescooperative games for friends, families, and professional teams
I lead interactive storytelling and roleplaying experiences in which participants must work together to undertake an epic quest to solve puzzles, find treasure, defeat monsters, and save the day.
Akin to "escape the room" games, my adventure sessions provide excellent opportunities for creative problem-solving, communication, collaboration, and imaginative play. No prior experience with roleplaying games is required; these adventures often use my original tabletop storytelling game, Chronicles of the Everflame Collective, which was designed for younger players and beginners of all ages. Energizing, flexible, and dynamic, Jason unlocks the magic and creates opportunities for everybody at his table to experience success. Vertical Divider

Adventurous Mathematicsengaging learning experiences for individuals and small groups
I work with young people and adults to support mathematical flourishing and celebrate the joy of mathematical exploration and discovery.
Over my years as a professional educator, I have curated a collection of rich mathematical tasks which invite creativity, curiosity, and a sense of play while also offering opportunities for deep and rigorous mathematical thinking. For example, check out my quirky mathematical adventure story, The Arithmetiquities! My intent is always to bring a welcoming and exploratory instructional style, allowing every participant to feel successful, regardless of their confidence level with mathematics. Thank you again for all that you do to make learning mathematics a positive experience for kids. We really appreciate the amazing way you connect with them and your communication style. |
