Session description

Come learn how to integrate the Raspberry Pi with various props and components to design an escape room adventure. You’ll learn how to create puzzles and interactive challenges using practical sensors and components. We will also explore ways to apply these skills to empower students in the computer science classroom.

Outline

I. Introduce the Raspberry Pi Escape Room concept (10 min)

II. Participants participate / experience escape room (20 min)

III. Explain projects / components (20 min)

Iv. Facilitate a hands-on activity where participants build a sample project using the Raspberry Pi lab, breadboard, and components. (110 min)

V. Final thoughts/ Q & A (20 min)

Supporting research

The Arkansas Department of Education Office of Computer Science provided 80 Raspberry Pi grants and professional development for teachers in our state. We developed this project as a way to inspire teachers to creatively use the equipment they received. The concept has been well-received by teachers in our state, so we thought we would come to ISTE and share this idea more broadly.
