Bring Breakout EDU to PS 89!

Help me give my students two Breakout EDU kits! These will support all 1,800 students in my school! I would love to use these kits to "gamify" the learning to get our students more engaged.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

We are a Title I school in Queens, New York. Our students are from an immigrant neighborhood, where over 200 languages are spoken! The students are working hard to practice English, but it becomes especially challenging at home where family members often cannot help with HW. In addition, not all students have access to technology at home, which makes it even more difficult for them to take their learning beyond what they do at school. All students are entitled to free breakfast and lunch at our school.

My Project

Our students love learning, but sometimes the material can by dry and repetitive. We want to bring Breakout EDU to our school to turn learning into a fun game!

With the Breakout EDU kits, we will be able to solve problems, use clues to move through our projects, and unlock new learning!

The kits will be shared for the whole school, so any teacher who wants to borrow it can use it! This means it will be used in science, social studies, math, reading, writing, technology, art, music, dance, and more!

Please help us bring this fun, engaging activity to our school!
