I'd like to create a breakout edu around the theme of scratch.
Breakout EDU is the idea that you are given a number of boxes that are all locked with different kinds of locks (key, combination, 4 letter words, number sequences, etc) and you have clues that you use with others to figure out how to get inside the boxes. (http://www.breakoutedu.com/). It's based on the new 'break out of a room' challenges popping up all over the place; but of course we cannot lock kids in a room so the idea is flipped.
Any teachers interested in collaborating? I want to
- Think of a storyline/theme involving the Scratch Cat
- Animate the scratch cat to introduce the theme/story/clues
- design multi-step clues, puzzles and riddles
- make use of code blocks that they may be more than novice (clones, string or list operations?)
- aim at elementary (grade 4?) level of difficulty
Thoughts?
