Overview

Welcome to the Cybersecurity Awareness Virtual Escape Room, a collaborative project undertaken by me (Sage Despeignes), Colleen McDaniel-Graham, and Zoraida Younger.

Description

In the months of March through April 2023, we embarked on an exciting journey to create a captivating and elaborate virtual escape room experience. We presented this escape room in April 2023 at the GenCyber Pre-Camp held at Prince George's Community College. Our goal was to immerse participants in a world of cybersecurity awareness using the powerful Thinglink platform.

Key Features

  • Engaging Mini-Games: We meticulously designed super engaging mini-games that challenge participants on concepts such as password security, identifying phishing emails, and understanding physical and Wi-Fi security.

  • Creative Collaboration: The project was a whirlwind of creativity and collaboration. We created graphics, wrote scripts, and designed immersive rooms.

  • Diverse Audience: Our virtual escape room was presented to a diverse audience of over 30 participants, ranging from elementary schoolers to high school students at Prince George's Community College GenCyber Pre-Camp. Witnessing their enthusiasm and curiosity as they navigated through our puzzles was the most rewarding part of the project.
