💥Caution
_This community does not have the typical GoVenture safety featues for 100% student privacy. GoVenture programs typically do not require K-12 students to use their names, email addresses, or other personally-identifiable information, but this online community requires name and email to join, and members are able to send private messages to each other. Instructor or parental supervision is recommended for younger students. Note that this online community is not the same as our Teaching Superhero community described on the next page._
