Lock Box Wall Michelle Marino (librarian) & Michele Bohlman (library assistant), Harold Martin School
Session Activity: We created a lockbox wall in the Breakout EDU style for my 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders to work on in our library makerspace. They love Breakout EDU so much but that is a whole class activity. With the lockbox wall they can come in during their makerspace time and try to solve the puzzles to get the codes to open the boxes on the walls - all self-directed. A great idea from the Future Ready Librarians Facebook group! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_P49VrX5emrddBBf8X1Qya6jdnKu0D6I/view?usp=sharing https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pkvl9XyNYAcn_VW_4K1Qw3POoPMhd86dy-E_X0yl5X8/edit Puzzle Research Challenges
