Our international project "Making Culture Alive - Digital Escape Room" started in December 2020 and will run for three years. Our project partners are from Finland, Slovenia, the Czech Republic, Spain and Hungary. During the project, the participating schools will focus on European cultural heritage, the traditions of different countries and the development of students 'and teachers' digital skills. Distance learning experiences are also shared. The project team organizes various workshops for students and teachers, either at their school, in the partner countries on site or as webinars. During each international meeting, the project participants try to solve a digital escape room connected to the culture of this country. Our school students designed the logo and the poster for the project. At the end of the project, two digital books will be put together, one on students' work and the other on teachers' experiences.

For example, it was possible to try to open a Robot-shaped cage with a computer with software created by SK ID attached to it. They gave us 5 minutes to hack, but we managed to open it faster. In the field of MiniCTF, you could test your knowledge and skills in cyber security. The e-sports area offered information about responsible and safe gaming. You could also play online games and participate in mini-tournaments there. It was possible to drive around the virtual city of Tartu in the area of computer science and technology at UT (University of Tartu). UT School of Science introduced the Python programming language.
