Classroom 2.0 LIVE webinar "Breakout EDU Game Design" with special guest presenter, Patti Harju,  September 30, 2017. We were so fortunate to have Adam Bellow, Co-Founder of Breakout EDU, as our special guest presenter in April 2017 to introduce us to some of the amazing features of Breakout EDU. That inspired all of us to want to learn more about these incredible games, and today we are thrilled to have the creative and inspiring, Patti Harju, with us to teach us the "ins and outs" of designing our own Breakout EDU Games! Breakout EDU is an immersive games platform for learners of all ages. In Breakout EDU games, players work collaboratively to solve a series of critical thinking puzzles in order to open a locked box. Learn more about Breakout EDU, explore how the story and connected clues are the secret to engaging players, and discover the many different kinds of clues to bring out the game maker within.
