Silverquicken programs ignite curiosity. They cultivate compassion. They build analytic skills, critical thinking, and teamwork in middle-schoolers. How? Through the magic of mysteries and the power of stories. Every Silverquicken program revolves around a compelling fictional narrative: the story of ten kids, young heroes from all over America, who attend the mysterious "Silverquicken School of Arts Mysteries Magicks & Sciences." This School was secretly founded by Ben Franklin to produce scientists, creators, and leaders who would make our country better--and defend it against the ever-present forces of tyranny. The fictional School is a place of both wonder and danger. Our ten heroes solve puzzles and face more and more difficult challenges as they race to save, not just the School, but the country and the world. Back in real life, our real Silverquicken students become immersed in the story. Along the way, they learn about codes and cryptography, logical fallacies, unsolved mysteries of mathematics and much, much more. As one student put it, "it's all the fun parts of school, without any of the bad parts." Silverquicken is real education... with magic inside.
