Assignment:
Welcome to my classroom website for AP Cybersecurity! This website will be your one-stop shop for all classroom assignments, announcements and materials pertaining to the class.
- Today we’re going to complete a Physical Security thought exercise.
- The scenario is this: In the kingdom of Far, Far Away, you are the Security Chief of the Royal Museum, appointed by the Queen herself to guard her most precious possession: Her Majesty’s Royal Crown – a priceless artifact made of the most precious metals, jewels and fabrics, and a symbol of the wealth, power and dignity of the royal family.
- However, as a monarch of the People, the Queen wants to ensure that everyone can view and enjoy the magnificence of the Royal Crown.
- Of course, there are those who would love to make the Crown their own, and would go through great lengths to steal it. As such, she has tasked you with designing a building, outfitted with the latest in security measures, to prevent this from happening.
- Grab a partner, and put your heads together to design the most secure facility imaginable, and help Her Majesty protect the Crown! Remember: You have to let people in, but you only have to let them see – not touch- the Crown! Think about all the ways someone might try to steal the Crown, and how you might stop them!
- Use the provided paper, pencils, pens and markers to sketch out your super secure Crown viewing facility, and be prepared to present and explain your security configuration to the class, and at the end, we’ll vote on the most secure facility!
- Good Luck! The Queen’s most precious possession and the dignity of the Royal Family is in your hands!
