STEM education involves a huge range of strategies that help students apply concepts and skills from different disciplines to solve meaningful problems. Instructors across science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines have begun to implement escape room activities as effective and engaging learning tools in their classrooms. Educational Escape Rooms (EER) epitomizes the concept of problem solving and out-of-the-box thinking. The current study examines the effects of a Mixed (Physical and Digital) Educational Escape Room (“Newton’s Kidnap”) to STEM principals, deeper subject comprehension, motivation and engagement using Engino robotics for students 8-15 years old. We created a STEM based EER for kids who participated to a robotic summer camp in Cyprus. At the end of the lessons the students, in small groups using an Augmented Reality app “Newton’s Kidnap”, tried to escape from a hotel room that was transformed to Newton’s Lab. We evaluated the whole experience through validated questionnaire to 40 of the 56 students that played the game. Results indicated that mixed escaped room using digital storytelling and hands on activities (like building robotic models) can enhance the cognitive benefits and learning outcomes, motivate and help students of primary and secondary school cooperate, via an enjoyable experience.
