Mythbusters Club
Mythbusters Club Mondays, 3:30–5:00 PM | hosted at High Five Books | Ages 7–10 (Ages 11+ as CITs)
September 14, 21, 28, October 5, (no club on the 12), 19, 26, November 2, 9, 16, and 23
Is Bigfoot real? What’s actually lurking in Loch Ness? And should you REALLY be worried about spiders crawling into your mouth while you sleep? 🕷️
Mythbusters Club is a 10-session afterschool investigation into the world’s most fascinating cryptids, urban legends, and unsolved mysteries — where kids don’t just explore the lore, they think like scientists and investigate the evidence. Each session dives into a new legend from two angles: what people believe, and what the science actually says. Then kids make their own verdict.
This is not just a monster fan club. This is critical thinking disguised as the most exciting afterschool program of the year.
Each session follows the Mythbusters Framework:
- 🔍 The Legend — where did this story come from and why do people believe it?
- 🧪 The Evidence — what proof exists and how was it collected?
- 🔬 The Investigation — what does science say? What experiments can we run?
- ⚖️ The Verdict — busted, plausible, or confirmed?
- 📓 The Field Journal — kids record their findings like real investigators
Every session, young investigators add a new page to their official Mythbusters Field Journal, building a complete investigation log they keep at the end of the season.
Along the way, Mythbusters Club members will build real skills that go far beyond cryptids:
- Scientific thinking and the investigation process
- Evidence evaluation — how do we know what we know?
- Critical thinking and healthy skepticism
- Research, note-taking, and presentation skills
- Media literacy — why do people believe things that aren’t true?
- Cultural literacy — where do legends come from and what do they tell us about society?
- The courage to say “I don’t know — let’s find out”
This club is perfect for curious kids who love mysteries, science, a good scare, and the thrill of finding out what’s REALLY going on. Just the right amount of spooky. Not too much, we promise. 🔍
Mythbusters Club meets Mondays from 3:30–5:00 PM at High Five Books. Ages 7–10. Ages 11 and up are invited to join as Counselors-in-Training.
