Mission 36 · Learning through making
The Treasure of Emma Prusch Farm
Build a telescope, decode clues, and assemble a treasure map.
The mission map and telescope used in the treasure hunt.
Children rolled, aligned, taped, and tested simple Galilean telescopes, with extra hands helping through the delicate parts of the build. Then they used their tools to look for hidden symbols along an orchard fence.
Comparing observations helped the group decode a repeating pattern. They collected three pieces of a map and followed it to a golden bee hidden in a golden egg. The challenge brought observation, navigation, patience, and collaboration together.
