Teacher Orientation
Phase 1
Students enter the world in the bus outside of the local school.
Students talk to the bus driver and choose the Escape Room option.
Students must explore the escape room, talk to NPCs (non-player characters), and use the Sustainable Style Virtual Tour (Tour link) to find clues that unlock the doors to the escape room.
Phase 2
Returning to the town, students complete your choice of optional, multi-curricular activities.
Students apply all knowledge gathered from the Escape Room, Virtual Tour, and activities to the culminating activity, to transform the school or town into a more sustainable community.
