🐴 OPERATION: TROJAN HORSE

This week, our G/T agents traveled all the way back to Ancient Greece to investigate one of history’s most famous acts of deception… the Trojan Horse!

Students explored the story of the Greeks and Trojans through the eyes of an intelligence agent, looking for evidence of strategy, deception, disguise, and surprise. They discovered that sometimes winning a battle isn’t about having the biggest army or being the strongest, it’s about being able to outthink your opponent.

And, of course, no mission is complete without a little something to remember it by! Each agent left with their own Trojan Horse and a reminder of this week’s lesson:

“The greatest weapon isn’t always the strongest. Sometimes it is the smartest.” 🐴🕵️

Another mission complete in The World of Espionage: Hidden in History, Protected in the Present. 🕵️‍♀️🔎

MISSION COMPLETE

Our G/T agents made it through their first week in The World of Espionage!

They searched for hidden messages, cracked codes, solved puzzles, tested ideas, and learned very quickly that great spies don’t give up when the answer isn’t easy.

The Breakout challenge may be complete, but their training is just beginning. Next up, we start traveling through history to discover how espionage has shaped the world.

Agents, prepare for your next mission.

CLASSIFIED: G/T AGENTS AT WORK

The mission continued this week as our agents in training searched for hidden clues, cracked codes, uncovered secret messages, and worked together to solve the case!

There were theories tested, clues reconsidered, and lots of “WAIT… I think I figured it out!” moments.

The best part was watching them realize that sometimes the answer isn’t obvious. You have to look closer, think differently, and keep trying.

More classified evidence coming tomorrow!

🔎 Did you spot the clues?
If you stopped by your campus GT classroom during Meet the Teacher, you may have noticed that something a little… TOP SECRET is happening in G/T this year. 👀

We’re not quite ready to reveal this year’s theme just yet, but we’ll give you a hint: Look closely. The clues are everywhere. 🕵️‍♀️🔍
