In this class, students will be presented with an epic adventure of mind-bending brain teasers and codes to crack. There will be rounds for individuals and rounds with time to collaborate in a team to get to the solution. We have more codes than time to solve. 1. We will cover historical codes that have been used over the generations of communication. 2. We will solve over 10 brain teasers that involve logic, math, humor, & 'detective' like skills. 4. We will walk over understanding how we got to each solution so they can tease their family at the dinner table 5. We'll use gamification, laughter and be sure to have a 'safe place to not know'. This experience will test prior knowledge and their ability to be resourceful to find the answers.

Parental Guidance
If parents are looking for an academic breakdown of 'psychological' definitions or detailed instruction of "how to think" this is NOT the class for your student. This class is fast-paced, upbeat, and has a focus on the application of skills with a group demonstration towards solutions of the problems presented.
