IN THIS LESSON

I can use technology to produce creative solutions to problems.

Mr. X is willing to defect from Evilarea and bring his knowledge of Evilarea’s top secret evil plans to us. However, he is only willing to give us this information, if we can restore his access to his bank accounts which the government of Evilarea has confiscated. Your mission is to get the passwords to Mr. X’s bank accounts out of Evilarea by sending them in code using light or sound from your computer in Evilarea to your group’s Spike hub here. Once your group provides Mr. X with his bank account password here, he will provide you with the code to Evilarea’s vault. Your group members here will use their computers to send the vault code to the Spike hub in Evilarea using a code based on light or sound. Upon successful decryption of this code your group will be able to open the vault and secure the loot.

STEPS TO COMPLETE THE MISSION

  1. Make 2 copies of your code. 6. Green team sends encrypted password.

  2. Pair devices. 7. Blue team decrypts password. (switch hub for computer)
