Sanks and her two colleagues Drake and Robinson, have developed the "Nicholson's Math/Game Week" to reinforce mathematical and technological skills. The project will promote strategic thinking and parental involvement among Nicholson Specialty School students. Students will apply problem-solving skills to create exciting games to advance mathematical skills. Games will be graded on originality, project design, presentation, and academic content. Parents will be invited to attend a family game night to play math games created by students. This project will be especially geared to empower special education students and those struggling in mathematics. Students will also film videos to demonstrate how to play the games. Videos will be uploaded to Nicholson Specialty School's Web site.
