What is ROOM-X?

ROOM-X is an adventurous escape game designed for school classes from the 10th grade to gain and apply computer science knowledge. In groups, the students have 60 minutes to complete a mission and escape from a room. To accomplish this, they take the roles of adventurers, detectives and computer scientists, search for clues and traces and make connections, combine them to solutions and this way save their team. The following topics are taken up in the room:

• Data privacy and data security • Complexity and logic• Automata theory• History and personalities of computer science

Even if these topics were not yet covered in computer science lessons, students can solve the puzzles using the hints and aids scattered in the room.

DONʼT BE AFRAID OF INFORMATICS PROBLEMS -

LOOKING OVER A HIGHFLYERʼS SHOULDER

A VIDEO ON HOW TO SOLVE A COMPUTATIONAL PROBLEM • Watch the fictitious “brainiac” Tom when he solves a

difficult colouring problem. • Observe the sketches he makes on his sketch-pad as

well as his chains of thought, when Tom works in a thinking-aloud setting.

• Experience first-hand, how Tom analyses the problem and then uses the key insights he gained to produc-tively work on the problem until he reaches the final solution.

• You will never get lost. At particular points the video will be interrupted with animated picture sequences in order to explain Tom's previous problem solving activities in more detail.

• Deepen your knowledge about compu-tational problem solving methods gained in lessons and lectures.

• Witness the usage of those methods by a strong problem solver virtually live.

Computer science students in the first semester who watched the video for eval-uation highly appreciated the concept. Tenor: “entertaining and informative at the same time”. The video has been derived from a study with weak and strong problem solvers who tried to solve the colouring problem in a thinking-aloud setting. The very efficient ap-proaches of the over-achievers have been didactically reprocessed and reassembled to an exemplary computational problem solving process, which has a relation to real-life. At the beginning a picture story tells the scientific background of the video. Watch online or download at
