Tech post 1

On Thursday we did an activity called breakout. How it worked was Mr.Calvert  split the room in half one side was a team and the other side was another team. We had to find clues in order to open the box with all of the locks on it. Once we found all of the lock combos we opened the box and found a key. The key led to a door with safety goggles.

This was the box ———————>
