'Ag Challenge Break Out!' |
|
|---|---|
|
Discover our world of mystery and intrigue! Enter our breakout room to solve a series of challenges, riddles and mysteries! Utilizing a lesson from the AITC Matrix, we will demonstrate how educators can use the escape room phenomena to engage students in agricultural learning. Participants will be racing against the clock to “break out” as they and their teammates collaborate, communicate, and problem solve using their collective knowledge of agriculture to propel them to success. We will offer resources and tips to help educators get started with designing breakout games for their learning community. Workshop Session (all workshops will be 60 minutes) | |
