My students will benefit tremendously from having an Escape EDU kit in our school library. These hands-on, puzzle-based activities turn learning into an adventure, encouraging critical thinking, teamwork, and problem-solving in a fun and engaging way. For many of my students, traditional instruction can feel overwhelming or disconnected from their interests. Escape-style challenges offer a fresh, game-based approach that builds essential academic and social skills without the pressure of worksheets or tests.\r\n\r\nBecause our school serves a traditionally underserved community, resources that spark curiosity and collaboration are especially powerful. The Escape EDU kit will give students a chance to work together, communicate, and think creatively—skills that are vital for success both in and out of the classroom. Whether they're solving math puzzles, cracking reading clues, or learning about history through a mystery, they'll be deeply engaged and excited to learn. This kit will help transform our library into a hub of active, joyful learning.","fullyFundedDate":1586223108095,"projectUrl":"project/theres-an-escape-room-in-our-library/4817963/","projectTitle":"There's an Escape Room in Our Library!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Maynard","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp6047351_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1543701784666","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/maynardsf"},{"teacherId":6002936,"projectId":7904946,"letterContent":"Thank you for the support with this project!
