💻Cyber Security Excursion💻
On Thursday 14 May, our Year 7 and 8 High Potential classes had the exciting opportunity to participate in the Cretaceous Cove – Quantum Victoria Cyber Security Escape Room Experience. Students from Lalor Secondary College and Taylors Lakes Secondary College were mixed into collaborative teams, giving them the chance to work with a variety of peers while tackling a range of challenging brain teasers together.
The tabletop escape room experience featured three different workshops: Password Panic, Sneaky Ciphers, and Fishy Phishing. Using digital devices and a series of clues, students worked against the clock to crack passwords, solve problems, and “escape” each room before time ran out.
Each challenge required students to apply a range of skills including mathematics, critical thinking, teamwork, communication, and time management. The activities were highly engaging and certainly not easy, making it even more impressive that several groups successfully completed all three escape rooms and avoided becoming dinosaur food!
Although not every team escaped all three rooms, all students showed persistence, collaboration, and enthusiasm throughout the day. It was a fantastic learning experience that challenged students’ minds and left everyone with plenty to talk about on the way home.
