The Power of Play: Bring an Official Pokémon Club to Your School

When student passion, play, and belonging drive learning, engagement follows. In this session, educators will see how Pokémon Clubs operate as high‑impact afterschool communities that support social‑emotional learning and student agency. Through concrete examples, educators will see how clubs are structured -- from gameplay and creative activities to peer leadership -- and how inclusive design keeps participation accessible. Participants will learn how to bring an official Pokémon Club (and its exclusive educator supports) to their school, plus take home a Pokémon giveaway!
