Breakout Box: AI Mission

Our power grid is under attack. A hostile cyber force has deployed a virus designed to disrupt our infrastructure and send the country into darkness. The virus is wreaking havoc across key power hubs, causing blackouts in multiple regions. If it isn’t stopped soon, we’ll face a nationwide disaster.

The Breakout Box: AI Mission, takes students on a 35-minute immersive adventure where they apply computational thinking and problem-solving to successfully combat the malicious digital attack. From the moment they step inside the custom-built immersive learning space, students will experiment with game-based learning to build their critical thinking, collaboration, and manufacturing skills.
