Escape Room Challenge Brings Interprofessional Learning to Life
Developed around the themes of inclusion, child development, participation and play, the interactive challenge brought students together in mixed-discipline teams to solve a series of clues and puzzles. As they worked through each task, teams collected codes that ultimately led them to a final four-digit solution.
While prizes were awarded to the first three teams to successfully complete the challenge, the event's greatest success lay in the opportunities it created for students to work together, share perspectives and develop their teamwork skills in a dynamic and engaging environment.
The energy throughout the session was evident, with students embracing the challenge and reflecting positively on the experience:
"Winning is nice, but making friends was nicer."
"Great for interprofessional learning and working on teams."
The escape room offered a creative alternative to traditional classroom learning, encouraging students to apply their knowledge in a practical setting while building connections with peers from another discipline.
The School extends its congratulations to Liath Sheehan for designing and delivering such an innovative and engaging learning experience, and to all the students who participated so enthusiastically.
