1. Arrange students into groups. Each group needs at least ONE person who has a mobile device.
2. If their phone camera doesn't automatically detect and decode QR codes, ask students to
4. Cut them out and place them around your class / school.
1. Give each group a clipboard and a piece of paper so they can write down the decoded questions and their answers to them.
2. Explain to the students that the codes are hidden around the school. Each team will get ONE point for each question they correctly decode and copy down onto their sheet, and a further TWO points if they can then provide the correct answer and write this down underneath the question.
3. Away they go! The winner is the first team to return with the most correct answers in the time available. This could be within a lesson, or during a lunchbreak, or even over several days!
4. A detailed case study in how to set up a successful QR Scavenger Hunt using this tool can be found here.
Question | Answer |
| 1. What is the definition of Binary | A way of representing information using only two options. | 2. What is the definition of Bit | A contraction of "Binary Digit"; the single unit of information in a computer, typically represented as a 0 or 1 | 3. Meaning of Overflow Error | Error from attempting to represent a number that is too large. | 4. Meaning of Round-off Error | Error from attempting to represent a number that is too precise. The value is rounded. | 5. Meaning of Analog Data | Data with values that change continuously, or smoothly, over time. Some examples of analog data include music, colors of a painting, or position of a sprinter during a race. | 6. Meaning of Digital Data | Data that changes discretely through a finite set of possible values | 7. Meaning of Sampling | A process for creating a digital representation of analog data by measuring the analog data at regular intervals called samples. | 8. Meaning of Lossless Compression | A process for reducing the number of bits needed to represent something without losing any information. This process is reversible. | 9. Meaning of Lossy Compression | A process for reducing the number of bits needed to represent something in which some information is lost or thrown away. This process is not reversible. | 10. Meaning of Intellectual Property | A work or invention that is the result of creativity, such as a piece of writing or a design, to which one has rights and for which one may apply for a patent, copyright, trademark, etc. | 11.
