Students chase Carmen Sandiego and her gang through all 50 states as they try to recover the nation's stolen treasures by deciphering clues relating to U.S. and state history, geography, economy, and culture. Each challenging case can serve as a springboard for further class discussion and activities across the curriculum. This school edition features an electronic database filled with essays, maps, music, color photos, and video clips that can be searched by key word. Explore mode allows students to go to any state they like, which makes research and investigation easy and fun for classroom detectives.
