It's Academic

Minerva

Meet Minerva. She’s 11 years old and has many mysterious talents. She goes to a top secret academy for junior geniuses. She’s the smallest and the youngest person at the academy, and she’s often underestimated. But she’s never, ever wrong. See if you can keep up with her as she solves a different puzzle every week by thinking logically and laterally. Oh, and keep an eye out for Neil, Minerva’s pet Huntsman. He’ll be hiding somewhere in each week’s animation. Check out some online Minerva segments here.

Minerva is back for series 15 and her life is more complicated than ever before. In between jousting lessons and unicorn races, she has to unscramble anagram puzzles, add and subtract dragon eggs, dig for treasure and cross the castle moat. Meanwhile Neil has a big football match coming up, versus some insects. Tune in each Thursday to help them solve each mystery.
