Ever since the first day of 6th grade tech, we reviewed twelve safety rules that is needed in tech. We did an activity called “Breakout” that has to do with the twelve safety rules. First, the entire class got split up into two groups. The goal of this game is to unlock a box filled with safety glasses. The box is unlocked when all of the locks have been unlocked. Luckily, each team had two hints for how to unlock the box. The challenging part of this game is that we were timed, and if the timer went off before we opened the box, then we would lose the game. We did’t know what the codes of each lock were, so we had to find clues hidden around the tech room that would lead us to the codes of all of the locks. There was also a bonus box, and the object inside the box is another clue.
My team started off really well. We found all of the clues in less than 15 minutes, but we were starting to run out of ideas for how to actually open the box. We asked our technology teacher for a clue. After that, we opened a lock. After we unlocked the first lock, we payed attention to all of the details on the clues. Since we payed attention to the details more, we unlocked a lock, and then another. Soon, we unlocked all of the boxes and won the game. This game was really fun and it was a great experience to have.
