This is a fun, virtual escape room class where we will learn about red pandas and other animals that commonly live in the zoo. Red pandas often escape zoos and are real trouble makers! About one red panda escapes a zoo a year. Your job is to be that red panda! In this class, you and the other students are a group of red pandas that have previously escape your zoos. Now, you are all in the most maximum security zoo in the world, "The MacKenzie Zoo for Trouble Making Animals", and you are determined to escape. In this one-time class students will work together as red pandas to go through a series of challenges and puzzles. They will use their knowledge of animals to make choices, solve puzzles and challenges, and escape the zoo!

Some of the things that we will discuss and work on are: Animal knowledge Facts about the red panda Habitats Facts about other animals Why it is useful to have thumbs Why red pandas are so good at escaping zoos Critical thinking & logic Problem-solving Teamwork & leadership

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi! My name is MacKenzie Piacenti, but I generally go by Kenzie. I teach a variety of science classes, mainly Biology and animal facts. I also teach Sociology, English Literature, and college advice classes. I graduated Susquehanna University in 2023 with a dual degree in English Literature and Sociology, University Honors, and Summa Cum Laude. I am also a soon-to-be PhD student (in August!), studying Sociology at Howard University. My teaching experience includes being a Teaching Assistant at Susquehanna University for three courses, having taught at Peak Academy for Community Learning for three years, and I have previously been staff at an environmental science camp in Pennsylvania, USA called Conservation Camp. I follow the camp of teaching that follows Harvard psychologist Howard Gardener's theory of multiple intelligences, essentially stating that everyone has a unique learning style and a unique intelligence, and if you engage the students in what interests them they will be more receptive to your teaching. I always try to have my classes be student lead so they can learn while being engaged! Finally, I am the proud parent of a very curious cat, if you take my classes there is a chance you will see one of them!Reviews
