The '''blackboard''' is a [[furniture]] item added by the [[Biotech DLC]]

== Acquisition ==
Blackboards can be constructed once the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research project has been completed. They require {{Required Resources}}, {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work, and a [[{{P|Skill 1}}]] skill of {{P|Skill 1 Level}}.

== Summary ==
When connected to a [[school desk]], each blackboard increases a student's Learning rate from ''Lesson Learning'' by 20%. This effect can stack up to three times. It does not matter which way the blackboard is facing.

== Analysis ==
If you have a [[comms console]] and a means of going outside, then blackboards are technically unnecessary. Children can easily reach growth tier 8 with just a school desk, so long as the other learning types are available. However, these buildings still increase average growth points. Therefore, blackboards will make up for extended periods of non-Learning, such as when resting from [[disease]].

Ironically, blackboards can actually ''lower'' a child's skill growth. While lesson learning with an adult, children will gain skill XP at a constant rate, unaffected by blackboards. But when a children reaches 100% learning, they will stop learning entirely. Blackboards speed up learning, which decreases the time spent lesson learning, which reduces skill gain.
