OOOPS! It's not Orlando, Florida, it's Orland Park, Illinois! I made a goof! =) fixing thread title...

One week after assigning the project, 7th grader Greta Acas opened the safe ... Andreasen, the safe technician ... Acas located him on allexperts.com.

It's sad to think that it will no longer be possible to ask for safe technicians help on allexperts.

Nice story anyway

I can barley open a 5 pin Kwickset, and a 7th grader opens a safe!!! (shakes head, looking down cast, and walks away from computer...)

Awww, don't be sad, perhaps locksmiths will get back to opening safes again, just like back in the long ago

This is awesome

Very proud of that young lady. She has started learning a skill that very few people have, and had a fantastic start which will, beyond doubt, have her hooked on the hobby.

She did a fine job. Too bad AllExperts is no longer available.

Practice, practice, and practice, my friend! Once you learn patience and feeling your way through a lock (appropriate tension and feeling the pins) you will get there. Perseverance is the key to this hobby.

I know you're right Silverado! Oh and I see that pun you put in there "Perseverance is the key to this hobby" .

I'm so happy my awful puns don't go unnoticed!

Preparing them for the real world! Welcome to the workforce kiddos! "Work hard and do it for free and you could be the next one who gets a pat on the back just like Greta got!"

This took away all the warm fuzzy feelings I got from the story.

I do have to say that this young girl is incredibly industrious. If she keeps up this level of dedication to complex problem solving, she will be formidable later in life. And that type of thing you cannot teach. Unfortunately, it is something that you can loose... especially if all you keep getting are a few pats on the back.

Hope that she has teachers that continue to challenge her. Even if she could get an apprenticeship with that safe technician, that might be a great way to encourage a continued interest in learning... but maybe that is just a glorified unpaid internship.
