Project Description
Scandia Breakout Boxes
RECIPIENT: Kelly Duncan, Scandia Elementary
AMOUNT: $1,000
GRANT OVERVIEW
Breakout EDU is an immersive game platform in which learners of all ages work collaboratively to solve a series of critical thinking puzzles in order to open a locked box. Ownership of learning is transferred from the instructor to the student, making it easy to observe how learners approach problem solving and apply their knowledge. In addition to the content knowledge needed to succeed, all Breakout EDU games require critical thinking, collaboration, creativity and communication. Students will demonstrate the IB learner profile of being risk-takers, communicators, and thinkers.
“With Breakout EDU kits, we can turn our classroom into an academically-focused escape room and facilitate games where players use teamwork and critical thinking to solve a series of challenging puzzles in order to open the locked box.”

“Every unsuccessful attempt to open a lock forces the player to try again. This really encourages the growth mindset we’ve tried so hard to instill in our students at Scandia.”
