Creating a TryHackMe Room
Hello everyone! I’m thrilled to be back on Medium after a brief hiatus. I have some exciting updates to share with you all:
- I’m close to finishing my MSc: It’s been a challenging journey, but I’m almost there!
- I will be starting a job as a SOC Analyst at the end of May: I’m excited about this new chapter and the opportunities it will bring.
- I have created a room on TryHackMe about Cryptocurrency investigations: I’m eager to share it with this awesome community!
Creating a room on TryHackMe can be both an exciting and rewarding experience. It allows you to share your knowledge, challenge others, and contribute to the community. In this blog post, I will walk you through the process of how I created my first room on TryHackMe, offering tips and insights along the way. Let’s get started!
Disclaimer: The Room is still in the testing phase*
Step 1: Planning the Room
The first step in creating a room is planning. I started by deciding on a topic that I am passionate about and knowledgeable in. For my room, I chose to focus on BTC, Blockchain, and ETH. Once I had my topic, I outlined the key concepts and skills I wanted participants to learn. This helped me structure the room logically and ensure that it would be both educational and engaging.
Step 2: Setting Up the Room on TryHackMe
This page from TryHackMe has helped me a lot in terms of creating my first room — First Room
It provided me with a step-by-step guide to create my first room on TryHackMe.
Step 3: Adding Content
With the room set up, it was time to add content. This involved creating tasks, challenges, and informational sections. Here’s how I did it:
- Create Tasks: I broke down the learning objectives into individual tasks. Each task focused on a specific aspect of BTC, Blockchain, or ETH. For example, one task was about understanding Bitcoin transactions, while another focused on Ethereum smart contracts.
- Add Descriptions and Instructions: For each task, I provided clear descriptions and step-by-step instructions. This ensured that participants would know exactly what to do and what they were expected to learn.
- Incorporate Challenges: To make the room more interactive, I included practical challenges. These required participants to apply what they had learned to solve problems or find specific information.
- Include Resources: I added links to external resources, such as documentation, tutorials, and tools like Blockchain.com. This helped participants dive deeper into the topics and provided additional learning opportunities.
Step 4: Testing the Room | Current Step
Before publishing the room, it’s essential to test it thoroughly. I went through each task and challenge to ensure everything worked as expected.
And now I’m asking this community for help with testing my TryHackMe Room. Link for the room — https://tryhackme.com/r/room/cryptocurrencyinvestigations
Conclusion
Creating a room on TryHackMe was a fantastic experience. It allowed me to share my knowledge and contribute to the community in a meaningful way. I hope this guide inspires you to create your own room and share your expertise with others.
