Snowstorm! Melt Iced-Over Students with the Flame of Engagement LIMITED
Monday January 13, 2025 9:45am - 10:45am CST
I'm addicted to learning! Well, let's phrase it another way - I am addicted to dopamine oozing in my brain! That sounds better. Now, let's look at what makes our brains bathe in dopamine. A package that we ordered waiting for us at the door? Heck ya! Hugs and kisses from family? Yup! Doom scrolling on Facebook? Ohhh that's the good stuff. Going to class? Yawn, boring! More melatonin is released than dopamine in many classes!

It's sort of like 10-2-2 but with a specific and hopefully fun task, such as a lockbox or clues to a final puzzle.  These could also be put together to use for a test review day.
