Q5 Algorithm: Breakout

21. Computational Thinking

Digital Breakout

Note: If you do not know what a 21t4s Digital Breakout Activity is, open the content box on the right above the Printer icon, read and watch the video for hints.

There are five locks to open to solve this challenge. Check with your teacher about working with a partner, team, or as a class to solve this before the timer runs out.

21t4s Digital Breakout Challenge

A Digital Breakout may also be called a Digital Escape Room.

This is a web-based, game-like activity where students use clues to unlock a series of puzzles or activities to solve a challenge (or to escape a digital room).

Students frequently work together, (conference, or chat) as they work to locate and solve clues.

For additional help  to solve a breakout view this short video (3:44).
