The student will be assessed by their ability to escape the classroom! If they can crack the codes, they will be free to leave the class. If not....they will be stuck in class FOREVER!Class Experience
*Prior to entering class please make sure you have the handout printed out or someplace that you can reference it quickly. This will make the process of cracking the codes easier for them.* Class will begin with an introduction to the Polybius Square that we will be discussing in class! Students will be taught how the code works while trying to find the missing codes in order to get out of the bunker! For a sneak peak into the 360 degree bunker we will utilize in class, use the link below: https://www.thinglink.com/video/1341964221482532866 Once a student understands the basics of the codes, they will be able to create codes on their own to share with friends and family, or put in their own escape rooms! In order to leave class at the end, students will have to use their knowledge of the Polybius Square to escape our classroom! All you need to bring to class is a piece of paper and something to write with and we are going to have a lot of fun!
Learning Goals
Students will use critical thinking skills as they decipher codes and also create codes for their friends and family.
