FactHound was a Capstone-developed, child-friendly search engine that allowed students to enter codes from books to access curated, safe educational resources. The service, which provided vetted websites and materials via specific codes, went offline in 2021, with resources now migrated to platforms like PebbleGo.

FactHound codes gave teachers and librarians a controlled way to offer further reading online without risking exposure to harmful content. www.facthound.com code
