Escape Room Fun: Digital Math and Science Breakouts

Relieve some stress and have some fun! Using resources from BreakoutEDU.com, participants will experience digital math and science breakouts (participants can select which ones they want to try). During digital breakouts, players solve puzzles online to figure out combinations to digital locks. No hardware is required for digital breakouts - only Internet access is needed, so you will be able to turnkey these breakouts with students as well.
