Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?
Can your student-sleuths search the world and find the treasures?
As agents for the world-famous ACME Detective Agency, student-sleuths must track down the ex-secret agent and her cohorts. As students pursue Carmen, they'll explore dozens of the world's great cities and diverse cultures, guided by over 1,000 clues about history, the arts, language, currency, and geography. Students can use the built-in database to research reports and focus on the country or region the class is studying.
Carmen Returns! She has run off with a rare and valuable book worth millions, and this is just one of the many historic heists that will have students traveling the globe. Students build their world geography and problem solving skills while tackling challenging missions, solving mind-bending puzzles and uncovering the secrets of the stolen Treasures of Knowledge. Through rich graphics, vivid settings and interactive content, students are immersed into world cultures and learn essential geography facts.
