Specifically: Who stole a valuable book from a museum, how did they do it, what was their motive, and where is the book now?<\/p>\n

The event, which ran through Aug. 29, was called Day at the (Eckerd) Museum, and it was the culmination of an Eckerd College Autumn Term<\/a> course titled Building an Escape Room. Led by Physics Professor Anne Cox, Ph.D.<\/a>, the students built props that ranged from a dinosaur skeleton to a trick safe. The four rooms to be escaped were The Basement, The Science Lab, The Taxidermy Room and The Gallery.<\/p>\n

Inspired by popular video and interactive games, the object of an escape-room game is for a team of players to discover clues, solve puzzles<\/a> and accomplish tasks in one or more rooms so they can reach a specific goal in a given amount of time\u2014usually 45 to 60 minutes. The ultimate goal is to escape from the site of the game, which is often set in a fictional location, such as a dungeon.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content”

what they need to think about; communicate with each other; and also learn about the history of the Navajo Code Talkers, the Code Girls of World War II, and even a bit about quantum cryptography. And that they provide people just enough information to solve the mystery and make it interesting, but not too little information so that they get frustrated and give up. To me, that\u2019s the crux of education.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cox and her family have visited escape rooms and enjoyed the bonding experience they provide. But she had never taught a course on how to build one. So she recruited help. On a recent morning at the MakerSpace, Eckerd College Physics<\/a> Shop Supervisor Paul Fratiello along with Academy of Senior Professionals at Eckerd College<\/a> members Dave Duane and Tom Handcock moved from one workstation to the next assisting students using power tools. \u201cWhen the students see that they can use power saws and drills and other tools,\u201d Duane says, \u201cit\u2019s a confidence builder.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cox says Duane and Handcock have been enthusiastic partners. \u201cThis wouldn\u2019t have been possible without their support,\u201d she adds.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” top_margin_tablet=”32″ column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”left” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”17047″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” img_link_large=”yes” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”16″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]First-year Emani Frazier at work in the MakerSpace.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”5%” bottom_padding=”2%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”17049″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” img_link_large=”yes” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”16″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]ASPEC member Dave Duane works with first-year Scott LaFleur to build a component for the escape room.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Unique to Eckerd College, Autumn Term is a three-week extended orientation that allows first-year students to acclimate to campus life before the fall semester begins and upperclass students arrive. First-years take one course for credit during Autumn Term, and the professor for each course serves as the mentor for the students in that class throughout their initial year.<\/p>\n

On a recent morning at the MakerSpace, three first-year students were hard at work preparing to debut Day at the (Eckerd) Museum on Aug. 27.
