스파이크래프트: 코드 해독

In this thrilling spy-themed class, learners will work in teams to break a series of codes inspired by classic spy adventure films. 

Over the course of fifty action-packed minutes, learners will work both individually and in groups to solve the puzzles, crack the codes, send the messages, and ultimately rescue a fellow spy from their hidden safe house. 

As their teacher, I will take on the role of "Control", sending learners messages to be decrypted and puzzles to be solved. As they advance through the narrative, learners will stretch their brains to:
-Use deduction skills to identify important clues.
-Use critical thinking skills to choose between paths in the narrative.
-Use practical map-reading skills to identify the fastest path to their objective.
-Use teamwork and communication to help one another solve multi-part puzzles.

I will begin class by introducing the game and ensuring that all students have access to either the printed or digital version of the rules and the first puzzle. Students will be place in teams of 2-3 and given instructions to communicate using the Zoom chat or video call. Some of the puzzles will require students to think creatively to communicate, taking actions such as typing coded messages in the Zoom chat or using hand signals on the video call to send messages without speaking. Once the challenge begins, I will be available to give hints and guidance to students, as well as serving as "Control" for the mission of solving the puzzles.

At the end of class, teams will be awarded points based on completion of goals. Students who do not complete the challenge by the end of class will be allowed to continue working on the challenge using the provided worksheets and post questions or success stories to the OutSchool classroom.
