Looking for a way to talk about the election without getting mired in politics? Today’s episode is the perfect solution.
Fina Mendoza, the daughter of a congressman, is assigned a Genius Project that lets students pick the topic they’d like to research and present to the class. Since it’s an election year and Fina’s father is back in California campaigning for re-election, Fina decides to research voting. Specifically, letting kids younger than 18 cast a ballot.
Real-life Congressman Mark Takano of Riverside, California zooms with the class to answer questions about youth voting.
There is also a mystery to be solved: who broke into their classroom, ransacking the backpacks and rifling the teacher’s desk. Fina consults with her detecting partner, a giant orange dog named Senator Something, and talks her sister into accompanying her on a field trip to see if her hunch about the culprit is correct.
