A Different Kind of Digital Breakout
Wednesday July 22, 2026 1:00pm - 2:30pm EDT

This new style leads students through a series of puzzles and content and can be used by individual students or groups in any classroom. Attendees will need a laptop or Chromebook in order to participate in the first portion (20 minutes) of this session; we will play a demo game from the viewpoint of a student.
