As a teacher in a community faced with high poverty and socioeconomic difficulties, my students are faced with a variety of challenges each day both in and out of the classroom. Despite the challenges, my students are curious and filled with imagination, open hearts, and minds. Our school is Title I, which supports free breakfast and lunch provided to students at school. I must make their school experience meaningful.
I focus on their potential and growth from the moment they walk into the classroom.
I aim to provide my students with creative and positive learning experiences that will foster their curiosity. It is my job as an educator to allow their curiosity to expand and their skills to develop and grow while keeping them inspired to learn.
My Project
BreakoutEDU allows students to practice and utilize 21st-century learning skills in a "gamified" environment. By working together, students are able to collaborate to solve puzzles, discover clues, and build their relationships as a team. It aligns perfectly with our school's core values: inquiry, investigation, collaboration, and reflection.
BreakoutEDU is a different approach to learning where students think outside the box to solve problems.
In order for this project happen, we need breakout kits. This game allows for students to improve these skills, while also learning required content. I am asking for a variety of 16 locks, 8 lockable boxes, 6 UV markers, 4 alphabet decoders, and 5 UV lights in order create Breakout Edu so my students can collaboratively ESCAPE a variety of challenge games. Each box presents an opportunity for over 250 learning experiences to happen.
