How Recess works
Meet an expert.
Put ideas into practice.
Professionals share their experience through practical activities, real examples and demonstrations that make school subjects feel relevant.
- 01
We create it together.
A company brings an expert and funds the programme. Recess shapes their knowledge into a focused lesson, activities and a practical takeaway.
- 02
Classrooms join live.
Schools sign up for a scheduled event. Each class has its own code; students join the activities on their devices while a teacher stays with them.
- 03
The learning carries on.
Students receive a guide or project kit. Schools get their own class summary, and the company receives a report on the learning it supported.
For schools & learning communities

Ready for your classroom.
Connect a school subject to someone who uses it in the real world. We prepare the event and resources, so you can focus on your class.
- Free to take part. Companies cover the cost for schools and students.

A few useful answers
Good to know.
Is this live or pre-recorded?
Live. A professional leads a 45-minute session with practical activities, polls and clear explanations. Schools join the scheduled event together. Students receive a guide or project kit to keep exploring afterward.
Who can join?
Recess is for students aged 13 and over, joining through a verified school or learning institution. A responsible teacher or authorised adult must stay with each group. We confirm age suitability, access requirements and local safeguards before arranging participation.
How does our school get started?
Register your school’s interest and tell us your subjects, student ages and location. We’ll contact you about suitable event dates and school verification. Each class receives its own access code. Students join without accounts or entering their names, and schools are not charged.
What does the company need to provide?
A useful area of expertise, an employee or specialist to present, and time for co-design, preparation and the live event. Recess develops the learning materials and coordinates delivery with you. If an independent expert is involved, their contribution, credit and fees are agreed separately.
What information does a company receive?
A report on attendance, participation, activity results and teacher feedback where available. Results are combined across participating classes, without student-level records or contact details. Small-group results are limited or omitted to protect privacy.
What is included in a repeat event?
A new scheduled live delivery of the same programme, using the agreed content and resources. The USD $299 repeat price includes coordination, moderation and fresh reporting. Your company provides the presenter and their time again. New topics or substantial content changes are scoped separately.
