Meet The Inbestigators in Our Free Q&A Webinar

Register your class for The Inbestigators Q&A Webinar today.

Primary teachers, are your students enjoying the newly released episodes of The Inbestigators on ABC Me? Joining our Q&A webinar on Friday 22 November will give them the chance to interview the cast.

If you haven’t yet had the pleasure of watching The Inbestigators, imagine a cross between Little Lunch and Sherlock Holmes. Or better yet, head to ABC iview to check out this clever storytelling for yourself.

After Maudie, a ten-year-old puzzle prodigy, solves a crime on her ﬁrst day at school with her new classmates Ezra, Ava and Kyle, the future is obvious: the four children must form a detective agency together. Operating out of the granny ﬂat in Ezra’s backyard, these funny and disparate kids from Grade Five solve one thorny school playground or neighbourhood mystery after another, and become best friends in the process.

Four cast members from this popular children’s series will be joining us in the ACTF offices on Friday 22 November for a live video conference, giving primary students across Australia the opportunity to interview the young actors directly. Along with learning about television production, acting, and themes from the series, students will gain first-hand experience interacting respectfully in an online learning environment.
