Description
Do you want to introduce or review the engineering design process in an engaging and fun way? This digital breakout activity, similar to an escape room but without the need for physical locks, does just that! Students do not need any prior knowledge about engineering or the EDP to do this breakout, though it can be used as a review. In this resource, students will:
- Learn about the engineering design process (5 slides of informational text)
- Solve 6 digital puzzles related to the EDP (a variety of puzzle types are included, from image puzzles, to ciphers, to demonstrating learned knowledge)
- Use technology skills to complete the activities (entering text into Google Slides, Google Forms, rotating objects, clicking and dragging objects).
- Use creative problem solving skills to decode the puzzles.
- Complete follow-up activities to demonstrate subject mastery (printable, optional).
What You'll Get
- Teacher instructions on how to use this resource, tips for success, and completed samples of every puzzle.
- 5 slides of informational text about simple machines (inclined planes, levers, pulleys, screws, wedges, and wheels/axles).
- 6 slides of digital breakout puzzles
- Follow up assessment/activity (multiple options provided for scaffolding).
For this activity, you will need access to Google Classroom (or Google Slides and Google Forms, for use at home), internet access, and devices to complete the activity (laptops or Chromebooks are recommended).

What Teachers are Saying
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This was a great activity and the students really enjoyed it! The puzzles were challenging and definitely kept my students thinking for a few days."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This was a fantastic activity for my 5th graders before starting our new science unit. I can't wait to use this every year! Thank you!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This breakout room was great! A couple of the puzzles were difficult for my 6th graders, but with a few hints they were fine. My 7th and 8th graders had fun but were challenged. The google form worked very well. The kids loved it! So very worth the money! Great!!!"
