The International Spy Museum has offered BBBS of the National Capital Area 100 tickets for SPY FEST that will be taking place on Friday, January 30th from 6-9pm.

This festival provides kids and parents a rare opportunity to get an inside glimpse into the secret world of espionage.  Through interactive, spy-related activities and booths, attendees will learn how to think like real secret agents as they assume new identities, decipher coded messages, analyze hand-written and satellite images and detect liars by polygraph — all directly from experts in the field.  And who knows, there just may be a spy or two in your midst…

Highlights include:

• Disguise for Cover – Transform your appearances and assume a cover with help from professional, spy-caliber disguises and makeup artists.
• Game of Drones – Meet local drone-makers and discover the art of surveillance from these “eyes in the sky.”
• Questioned Documents – Learn how to analyze handwriting, signatures and find hidden marks on documents using evidence from real investigations with FBI forensic scientists.
• Speaking in Code – Meet an FBI cryptoanalyst and try to crack her coded messages.
• Spies and Lies – Can you beat the polygraph?
• The Spy’s Eye View – Hear from former spy turned Spy Museum Executive Director Peter Earnest who offers an inside look into his life as an intelligence officer in the CIA’s Clandestine Service.
• Ninjutsu demonstration – Martial artists roaming the museum’s galleries might take you by surprise.  Explore the traditional martial arts from Ninja also associated with espionage in Japan.

Ticket includes exclusive after-hours discussion, SPY snacks, scavenger hunt, prize competitions and more!

Meet and greet with our new CEO & President, Mr. Michael Sanzi.

Please RSVP to John Sanchez here by Friday, January 23rd at noon and include the full name of your little.
