MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAMS
Ship of Secrets
A pirate-themed adventure for 6th grade and up. Students set sail on the open seas of a fantastical world, but they’re not alone. Many on the ship are hiding secrets and communicating in code. Students will have to decipher the different messages using cryptography principles in order to stay a step ahead of disaster. The course begins by explaining classic ciphers used in ancient Europe and Asia. As the semester continues kids learn about the concepts behind modern cyber security.
Dog Day After School
EDventure Quest presents Dog Day After School, an after school story adventure class for grades 6th and up. A group of dogs has been dognapped by a pharmaceutical company. Experimentation has turned these precocious pets into superpowered pooches. After growing tired of being poked and prodded, they decide to make a break for it and take their fate into their own paws. What happens next is up to you!
What kind of dog are you? What is your superpower? Where is your dog determined to go? Do you have an owner to get home to, a sister locked up in a shelter or a distant wolf relative living in the mountains? Your ideas and decisions drive the story. If you plan on making it to the end, you’ll have to put your imagination into high gear.
This is a creative writing class unlike any other — a group novel-writing role-play adventure where kids decide where the story goes next. They will learn how to tell and write a compelling narrative with motivated characters, detailed settings and well-constructed plots. This class is for kids who enjoy fantasy, Dungeons & Dragons, making up stories and of course, dogs.
Outpost Oasis
A Star Wars-style story adventure for 6th grade and up. Students will take on the role of hackers, engineers and space smugglers who are trapped aboard a space station. They've been accused of sabotage and are being hunted by station security. They'll have to think fast, use their imaginations and work together with aliens and androids if they're going to save the station ... and themselves. For kids who enjoy sci-fi, mysteries, computer hacking and story-telling.
