2h Story Detectives

Grab your notebook,  it’s time to become a story detective! In this class, you’ll learn how to spot hidden stories all around you, find a great scoop, and ask the questions that bring it to life. Along the way, you’ll take on field missions, join our mini-newsroom, and tackle mystery challenges before sharing your final scoop as a zine, podcast, or artwork at our end-of-class “press conference.”
