Breakout EDU is an open source (FREE) game platform that encourages teachers from around the world to create and share ultra-engaging inquiry-based learning games for people of all ages. Hundreds of games (Breakouts) have been created and freely shared by teachers from Pre-K through University to teach teamwork, problem solving, critical thinking, and troubleshooting. Breakouts present students with challenges that ignite their natural drive to problem-solve, and the games range from digital games built with Google tools to games with hidden physical clues similar to escape rooms. Content ranges from K-1 center-based games about popular Dr. Seuss books to AP calculus! Come experience Breakout EDU games for yourself, then begin developing your own breakouts to re-energize yourself as a teacher and students of all ages as learners!
