The site, which also offers thought-provoking questions for teachers or students to use to foster further discussion, was created by the students at John F. Kennedy High School, in the Bronx, in collaboration with kids at England's Thomas Hepburn School. Though the site content is geared toward middle schoolers and high schoolers, it offers plenty of interesting facts and puzzles for older minds, too.
