Introduction
In order to better understand the digital tools used in the different activities, we used images (e.g. screenshots), although these images belong to the owners of these tools.
In this activity, you will search around your house to find QR codes hidden by someone in your family. Each QR code has a question that you must answer correctly through an Internet search. After answering the question correctly, you’ll get a clue to look for the next QR code.
