Algorithms Escape Room

Animated escape room for GCSE Computer Science covering Creating Algorithms, Computational Thinking, Searching Algorithms, and Sorting Algorithms, aligned to Topic 2.1 in the OCR GCSE Computer Science specification to J277.

In “Chef-9000” - The robot chef CHEF-9000 is overheating and students must repair its 13 kitchen stations to save it. Each station opens with a short animation that teaches one concept. Students then do an interactive hands-on task, such as sorting a conveyor belt, searching a wine cellar, filling in a trace table or fixing faulty code. The stations cover abstraction, decomposition, flowcharts, OCR Exam Reference Language, debugging, linear and binary search, and bubble, insertion and merge sort. To finish, students order a master program and predict its output to reboot the core.
