Project Description
In this experience, students will learn about the importance of network redundancy and fault tolerance. After watching a video to learn about networks, they’ll put that knowledge to the test as they attempt to connect high-speed internet among multiple cities. When students have successfully completed the learning game on Roblox, they’ll reflect on what they’ve learned and answer a few questions about their experience.
Note: This learning game requires the installation of the Roblox desktop or mobile app and a Roblox account in order to play. For more information, check out this article on using the Roblox Client application to play CodeHS Roblox games.
Your Task

The Game
Caution! No high-speed internet ahead! Avoid platform hazards while navigating to each city’s floating network hub. Flip the switches to connect high-speed network cables. Once all the cities are connected, launch the network to test its fault tolerance and redundancy.
Students can play with up to 2 players per instance of the game. Each player is awarded a Network Navigator Roblox badge after successfully completing the game.
Estimated Time to Play: 15-20 minutes
