These products will be used together to create my own version of a breakout box. The smaller boxes will hold the answer and be inside the larger Sterilite boxes. In between the boxes will be clues and problems for my students to solve. However, before they can get into the larger Sterilite box they must solve all the clues to unlocking all of the Hasp lock's locks. They are similar to escape rooms but I can break my students into cooperative learning groups and they have to beat the clock! There are content-based projects that will allow me to use these boxes in all of my classes for an awesome hands-on learning experience for all students, regardless of their learning style and level! This project will allow my students the opportunities to be more engaged and put what they have learned to use in a new, creative, and intriguing way. Most of the students in my school have not heard of these and I can't wait to see their faces when this dream of mine becomes a reality for them! My students will see these boxes as something that gets them out of their seats and allows them to work and compete with peers in a healthy way, as well as develop their strengths in a different way. I have seen how group work and healthy competition has helped students to thrive in ways that regular classroom instruction just isn't able to provide.
