Create different ways to track scores with friends!

Leveling up STEAM learning with the PLIX “Games over Garbage” remix strategy. Create different ways to keep score of the interests we share with our friends, in a format that can be reused.

It can include tracking the number of wins of a game we play, hours of summer reading, our daily water intake, our shared exercise goals, our healthy eating or spending habits, and other shared meaningful experiences.
