Gratitude: A World of Thanks!

A heartfelt THANK YOU to the teachers, students and scientists at all ten Mystery Classes! Everyone did a fantastic job compiling such great clues and Introductions, which in turn lets us all learn so much about their cities and countries.

Finally, we also want to thank astronomy expert and teacher Rod Nerdahl for all the careful work he did again this year compiling the sunrise/sunset data and more! Rod's careful work is essential to the Mystery Class activity and we are lucky to have his expertise!
