Step into the Strategy Lab at Dave & Buster's Play Academy -
where every game is a chance to learn, test, and think like a
strategist!
This STEAM-accredited, educator-backed
experience challenges Girl Scouts to develop, adapt, and apply
strategic thinking while playing their way through exciting
arcade-style lessons. Girls will learn how to plan their moves, test
new ideas, and adjust their strategies in real time - all while having
fun in a high-energy, game-filled environment. It's all about learning
how to beat the game - and building confidence through smart
play!
