What is this?
Embracing the escape room trend, Breakout EDU aims to engage students with a series of locks and boxes around the room, and clues to access each box that solves a literary, mathematical, scientific, or historical mystery. In the process, Breakout EDU targets the skills of communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity. But most of all it is engaging, hands-on, and FUN.
