My Project

My students are amazing and love to think critically to solve a variety of real-world problems. They love to be challenged in ways that extend their intellectual understanding of the content that is above grade level. This project will help the students use both sides of their brains and requires them to work collaboratively in order to escape.

Once a lesson has been completed, students will use the Breakout activity to extend their thinking in a fun way.

This project will provide students with the kit as well as access to digital files. By having a hands-on approach, students will be more engaged in their learning and strive to complete the tasks at hand.
