Discussion Prompts

Observing

  • Describe how you know your password is secure. How do other groups answer that question? Are their answers similar or different to yours?
  • Were the strategies to remember passwords all the same? Why or why not? 
  • Why is it important to have unique passwords to get into the lab as a cooling courier? Why isn't it a good idea for all of the cooling carriers to share a password?

Predicting

  • What if you changed your password – would you change your strategy to remember it? Why or why not? 
  • How does your memory strategy help you to remember your password, but keep it secure so others don't know what it is? 
  • What if you were to use VEX GO pieces to help you remember a different password – what would you do? 

Collaborating

  • What did you and your partner do to create a password and strategy that made sense to both of you? 
  • What if you needed to train a new cooling courier – how would you explain the importance of remembering the lab password to them?
  • We know that working with others honestly and kindly is important. How can we do that while still managing things like password safety? Should you share passwords within a group of friends or students? Why or why not?
