Students will engage in a dynamic semester project aimed at creating an age-appropriate escape room. They will begin by examining different aspects of puzzles such as ciphers, hidden objects, riddles, matching, logic puzzles, simple machines, and locking mechanisms. Students will then create various puzzles focusing on History, Math, Science, and Literature which will tie into their overall historical theme. The Regional Escape will be a project component, showcasing their respective rooms to our parents, local community members, freshmen, junior and senior classes. The project will culminate with the Global Competition in PE and the Super Quiz.

Students will engage in a dynamic, self-driven research project in a country assigned to their group. They will begin by examining different aspects of their respective country, such as history, geography, culture, economy, climate, sports, and other interesting facts. The students will then create spreadsheets, websites, and physical products, culminating in a sophomore class fair to showcase their respective countries through the various components completed during the semester.
