Welcome back, junior detectives, or should we say Codebreakers 2.0!?
In this all-new version of our popular Tiny Codebreakers course, students will uncover fresh mysteries, tackle hands-on challenges, and crack even more creative codes. Over our eight weeks together, we will sharpen our detective minds and explore a mix of secret codes—both new and familiar—while continuing to build logic, teamwork, and imagination. Whether you are a returning sleuth or brand new to the field, your next mission is clear: follow the clues, crack the code, and solve the case!
Each week, students will take on a new case or mystery to solve, using a mix of clue-finding and kid-friendly code systems like picture codes, cipher wheels, invisible ink, and symbol-based messages. Through hands-on activities, creative problem-solving, and collaborative "detective missions," students will build confidence, curiosity, and critical thinking - no prior experience needed!
