Huge thanks to Data Education in Schools<\/a> for running this session!<\/p>\n

Agents K (Kate Farrell) and J (Jasmeen Kanwall) guided recruits through a series of taxing problems during this escape room event.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Brief<\/strong>: You were working late on paperwork from your recent DATA mission and you\u2019ve realised that you\u2019ve been locked in the base. Solve the puzzles to get out without setting off the alarm.<\/p>\n

Description of learners\u2019 task:<\/strong> Learners use graphs and tables of data about theme park rides to answer questions. The answers to the questions provide them with the alarm code to be able to escape the base.<\/p>\n

The recording of the activity is not yet available, but you can carry out the escape room task with your learners yourself by visiting https:\/\/dataschools.education\/resource\/locked-in-the-data-base\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Resources that learners will require<\/strong><\/p>\n
