It’s an unfortunate reality that universities are divided by academic department, teachers are licensed by content area, and interdisciplinary collaboration is the exception not the rule.

Project Breaker is named so in part because we create learning experiences for young people that break out of the box of conventional schooling. We accomplish this by breaking down the divisions that silo disciplines, that separate institutions, that come between public and private sector collaborations, and that perpetuate an artificial boundary between online and offline learning. Those young people are, as a result, breaking apart that box by asking, How is my learning in the service of solving real-world problems?
