Mrs. Watts from Max ND is requesting educational kits & games through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Think INSIDE The Box.

Help me give my students a different way to think through problems with a Breakout EDU Box. Students learn so much more when they don't realize that they are learning.

My Students

I teach business classes in a rural North Dakota town. Our students are a diverse group of students who are striving to take their education to the next level. They are innovative and always looking for a way to challenge themselves.

Their enthusiasm is intoxicating!

The students are always looking for more information and how it applies to them.

A quality learning environment can make a boring day at school more enjoyable for students. The more that the students enjoy being in a classroom the better their retention will be.

My Project

School has become boring. Teachers lecture, print out worksheets, then give a test and start all over again. My students are over this processes and want to be challenged.

Help me convert assessments into escape rooms.

Escape rooms and puzzle solving is trending right now. Students enjoy learning through problem solving and opening that final lock is so satisfying. Students leave that day feeling accomplished.

Learning can be fun and with your help my students will be learning while doing something that they really enjoy. Breakout Edu kits will provide my students with different locks and puzzles. It will also give them the opportunity to create their own.
