Lance (GimpyG) and I were so inspired to discover that something as awesome as escape room design, turns out to be an awesome opportunity to learn! The whole process of building these projects includes problem solving, critical thinking, teamwork, physics, storytelling, business,electronics, engineering, acting, design, writing, math…and probably a ton of other topics that I haven’t even realized yet! I’ve decided that we should be building Escape Rooms at schools the way we put on School Plays! Just imagine how many creative connections could be made by incorporating the imagining and engineering of something like this…not to mention the problem solving skills needed to escape them!? One of my absolute favourite parts of TechBanditry is all the research! And let me tell you, going down the rabbit hole for this week’s TechBanditry was particularly enjoyable! Here are my Escape Room Shownotes to inspire you to lock yourself & others in rooms and become masters of escape! |

All thumbs! All this escape room fun not enough for you? Check out Dani Clode, who developed a 3D-printed extra thumb controlled by your toes. It seems that prosthetics not only change the way we interact with the world…but might even reshape the very inner workings of our brains too!? It’s another funny and thought-provoking video by the fabulous folks at Freethink…Three Thumbs up from me! |

Smell Bot I’m always following the scent of cool technology! So, I couldn’t resist including the Smell Bot! It is a a cyborg locust used to sniff out scents and this biological best is better at it than a blood hound…I’ve got so much Squirreling to do over this smelly new tech!! |
