How can we design a cipher-enriched deep sea board games that unlock hidden ocean histories?

Students blend cryptography, history, and ocean science to create exciting colony games revealing life below water which may include: tackling pollution flows, overfishing, and living underwater through mechanical play and strategic choices.

• Systems understanding of ocean food webs, historical deep sea exploration, and sustainability
• Design Thinking towards build cipher-integrated board games (colony survival, fisheries management with pollution mechanics)
• Human + AI Interactions towards deep sea research and cipher creation
• Learn 2D Design using Adobe Illustrator
• Operate the Laser Cutter: Etching/cutting 
• Game play
