As this school year comes to a close, we want to continue celebrating the incredible hard work and dedication that teachers bring to the classroom every day. This month, our Plasma Games Educator Hall of Fame proudly features another outstanding educator who is making a powerful impact on the lives of students.

As the school year draws to a close, maintaining student engagement can be challenging. Summer is in sight, and yet end-of-year testing is still on the horizon. Rather than letting learning taper off, Plasma Games offers a dynamic solution: Search & Rescue digital escape room missions that keep students motivated while reviewing key science concepts.

At Plasma Games, we pride ourselves on being “for teachers, by teachers." With over 60% of our internal team having previous classroom experience, we understand the hard work and dedication that goes into everything done for students, and we want to celebrate that. Each month, we’ll spotlight a teacher using Plasma Games to enhance their students' learning experience.

The latest test results in Kentucky have revealed an alarming statistic: only 6% of high school students are proficient in science. While proficiency levels in reading and math have shown steady or slight improvements, science remains the lowest-performing subject across all grade levels. As Kentucky Public Radio reported in October of this year, these mixed results highlight the ongoing struggle for students to recover academically following the disruptions of the pandemic, severe flooding and tornadoes, teacher shortages, displaced students, and chronic absenteeism.
