Educational Programs and Outreach
Virtual Escape Rooms
Combining the unique scientific resources and approaches at Argonne National Laboratory with the fun of virtual escape rooms, middle and high school students will be “Argonne interns for the day” and use real data and evidence to work as a team to meet similar challenges to the ones that our scientists and engineers are tackling. Through a collaborative and authentic experience facilitated by Argonne Educational Programs staff, students will be able to virtually interact, regardless of current learning arrangements (fully remote, hybrid, in-school) with browser-based escape rooms inspired by Argonne’s research facilities and labs.
