Empowering Engineering Students' Math Literacy with Digital Escape Rooms

This text delves into innovative digital teaching strategies, specifically focusing on Math digital escape rooms (ER), tailored for Engineering students. Part of Erasmus+ initiative, MATH-DIGGER - Mathematics Digital Escape Rooms project aims to revolutionize education. The project's online platform serves as a dynamic arena, challenging students with puzzles and quizzes, within a time constraint, promoting an interactive learning experience. MATH-DIGGER's broader goal extends beyond subject mastery, aiming to enhance students‘ digital proficiency and cultivate crucial skills(cognitive, social, and psychological), pivotal for future success. This paper high-lights the practical implementation of a Differential and Integral Calculus ER, aligning with sustainable development goals, particularly SDG 7: ‘Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all.’ It outlines the necessary steps for a successful digital implementation, combining scientific, gamified, and informatics perspectives. By February 2025, MATH-DIGGER plans to release three completed ER online, furthering its commitment to accessible and engaging education.
