Big news today. I’m so excited to announce that GoldieBlox, Inc., in partnership with Discovery Education, is launching “Maker High”, an immersive 3D learning experience for middle and high schoolers on Roblox. Its debut experience, “Chem Lab Escape” is a fun and academically rigorous virtual escape room that challenges students to create chemical reactions, complete obstacle courses and solve puzzles using only their knowledge of chemistry to escape from a science laboratory. The experience is paired with lesson plans and student activities aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards for Middle and High School, available on the Discovery Education platform. Play Chem Lab Escape at roblox.com/chemlab. Learn more about Maker High at https://lnkd.in/g5ZGzxN9 This project has been a labor of love over many months from so many talented people who are passionate about the intersection of #stemeducation and #gaming. I have countless people to thank, and I know I won't be able to fit everyone here, but I will try. First, I want to thank the Roblox team (Rebecca K., Genevieve Johnson, Peter Wonica, Adam Seldow, Mike Buelterman, DK, Tom Smith & David Baszucki) for making this experience possible through its RCF grant program and for the countless hours the team dedicated to pushing this experience to meet the highest possible standards of excellence. Next, I want to thank WonderWorks Studio (Zachary Letter, Joseph Jurbala, Molly Woodward & Daniel Kolman) for delivering such a wow-factor experience and for being the best possible partner anyone could ask for. Next I want to thank the Discovery Education team (Amy Nakamoto, Danie Minor & Lauren Kinsey Ackerman) for going above and beyond in creating a robust set of NGSS-aligned student and teacher resources to make this experience classroom-ready and for being so wonderfully collaborative every step of the way. Last but not least, I want to thank our creative team members: Kurt Bieg, Spencer Martin, Heather Chandler, Dr. Sharon Jones, Jesyca Durchin Schnepp and Stephanie Glasband whose contributions were essential to our successful launch today.
