Professor Nogood has stolen an nC2 bag and locked it in her safe box. Luckily for us, the Professor is very forgetful and has left a series of clues to remind herself of the lock combination.

Learn about materials engineering and use your 'escape room' skills to solve the 5 clue stations and open the safe. Topics include: corrosion, surface damage, fractography, friction and chemical analysis.

This activity is run by nC2 Engineering Consultancy - part of the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences.
