My Project

I have been using Breakout EDU for the past five years to help students improve their critical thinking and cooperative learning skills while reviewing science material. As class sizes continue to grow, I find myself in need of additional materials to ensure that all students are able to participate in this engaging activity.

Working together in cooperative challenges, students use Breakout EDU to solve puzzles and win prizes.

This system provides endless options for challenges where students can apply their knowledge from each science unit to solve puzzles, open locks, and win prizes. Breakout EDU provides students the opportunity to use higher-level thinking skills in a highly-engaging activity that is unique and goes beyond any other classroom activity. It is the #1 activity students refer to as their favorite activity of the school year!
