Executive Alert
The White House Social Studies Adventure Pack
Something has disrupted the center of executive power.
Sensors across the Executive Operations Vault are detecting unstable systems tied to leadership, decision making, and national security. Ari Raider has traced the disturbance to the White House, where the Professor has interfered with critical executive systems and hidden a specimen inside a sealed Mystery Mine.
In Executive Alert, students explore how the White House functions as both the President’s home and the command center of the executive branch. From leadership responsibilities and decision making spaces to advisors, diplomacy, and security, explorers must use real social studies knowledge to restore balance and unlock the Mystery Mine.
This adventure transforms civics into a story-driven mission focused on leadership, responsibility, and how the executive branch operates.
