We still have a few spaces left for boys going into year 6 this September. Sessions take place this Weds in Covent garden. Start times depend on which games the boys own/play.

We are looking for confident boys who are doing 'very well' at school

?25 Toys r us vouchers plus ?25 cash for chaperone. Kids small discussion group 75min max

Please contact me for more details/to complete a short screener

Thanks! Sara

> Why is it aimed at just boys anyway?


I don't think it's too controversial to suggest that boys and girls tend to prefer different types of games... is it? Girls don't tend to be so interested in shooting/fighting/spaceship type games, do they?

Boys failing at School + Gaming. Ask any teacher off the record their view


Both my boys (10 & 13) are aware/dismissive of "the gamers" who fall into this sub group


Researchers need to find ones who aren't in that group poss and are "doing well" (good luck)


If you're an adult gamer, this not designed as a swipe at you, but it's an issue of sorts in School

its maddening when people delete their posts seconds after posting!!! (waves to Woody)


what did you say Loz?!


Jeremy, no its not controversial at all to suggest that boys & girls prefer different types of games. There was nothing to suggest that the gaming research mentioned was of the shoot-em-up kind tho. I just don't like it when its assumed that things are 'for girls' or 'for boys'. I am not really into computer games these days but I quite liked space invaders back in the 80s or whenever they were invented!

    • Well I did say I stand to be corrected! Fair enough, their website only seemed to list three branches. Perhaps it's a franchise model?  It's known as 'agglomeration' in economics Rookie error.
    • I didn't know there was a word for that — thanks!
    • This is just normal business behaviour. That's why there are so many coffee shops in ED and shops selling gifts and interiors stuff, clothes, restaurants.  If there's more than one business of a similar type then it can benefit all of them up to a saturation point and keep up quality. It's all sounding like many think Chango has made a malicious move when it actually sounds like it's owned by one guy who has a good business that has done well.   Anyway this is all great advertising for both empanada places. Very close by is the organic grocer who sells really good value and very tasty samosas and other Indian snacks which are also worth trying. 
    • Hello, Does this lovely little panther have a name? & Is he neutered & microchipped?
