KENOSHA – The
Kenosha Public Museums will participate in
Vanished, a first-of-its-kind, online interactive science mystery
event created by MIT and The Smithsonian Institute. From April 4-May
31 players ages 11-14 will collaborate with Smithsonian scientists,
MIT students, and fellow players nationwide to unravel an interactive
mystery story. Through games, puzzles, real scientific thinking, and
visits to local museums - including the Kenosha Public Museum - they
must uncover the truth before time runs out.
Students ages 11-14,
may sign up for this exciting event at vanished.mit.edu.
You can learn more about Vanished from the USA Today article that
