This SCIFri - Decode. Communicate. Solve the Mission. 🧐

📡 Calling all future code makers and code breakers!
In honor of National Navajo Code Talkers Day, youth will discover the power of communication by creating secret codes, sending hidden messages, and decoding clues from other teams. Inspired by the Navajo Code Talkers who used their language to help transmit secure messages during World War II, this hands-on STEM activity combines history, critical thinking, creativity, and teamwork.

Can your team complete the mission?
