What to Expect:

Manufacture Your Path is a deep impact learning program that equips students with knowledge and resources about high-demand careers and learn-and-earn opportunities in their community. The flagship component of this program is our Breakout Box vehicle. This program is FREE to schools and includes a TEKs aligned hands-on technology-based experience that introduces students to manufacturing concepts.

The Breakout Box Experience

Breakout Box: Manufacturing Challenge (Grades 9-12)
In a world where sunglasses are not just a matter of fashion but a necessity for survival, participants will embark on an immersive adventure filled with intrigue, hazards, and reward. The Mission: infiltrate a manufacturing facility that has been monopolized by Evil Eye Corp. to manufacture affordable and sustainable sunglasses for the masses.  

• The Breakout Box: Manufacturing Challenge takes high school students on a 35-minute immersive adventure where they apply computational thinking and problem-solving to successfully run an eyewear manufacturing facility. From the moment they step inside the custom-built immersive learning pod, students will experiment with game-based learning to build their critical thinking, collaboration, and manufacturing skills. Participants will control and manipulate different areas throughout the manufacturing process including scheduling, inventory, machine operations, quality control, maintenance, and distribution. Students will collaborate to overcome disruptions to each process area to meet their goals. By the end of the experience, students will be able to understand the manufacturing process and the importance of teamwork. Students will walk away with a resource card to discover local manufacturing opportunities including high school pathways, internships, and entry level career options.
  • Onboard Game Capacity: up to 30 participants
  • Recommended Grade Levels: 9-12
  • Experience Runtime: 35 minutes
  • TEKs aligned

MFG Classroom Activities

To deepen student learning in manufacturing, Learning Undefeated has designed three in-classroom activities that are offered in tandem with the Breakout Box mobile laboratory. These activities – informed by students, teachers, and manufacturing subject matter experts – give students hands-on experience using manufacturing tools as well as exposure to real-work application of these essential skills in the manufacturing industry.
