Take on real-world challenges and become a creative problem solver! In Everyday Innovators, explore fun, hands-on activities inspired by everyday situations — from designing a better lunchbox to planning a dream adventure on a budget. Work in teams to tackle challenges like building a bridge that holds weight, creating an eco-friendly invention, designing a mini-business, or mapping out the best route for a delivery driver. Use math, writing, critical thinking, and creativity to come up with smart, practical solutions.  Learn how the skills you use in school apply to the real world — and have a blast doing it! Think, plan, design, and build your way through exciting weekly missions where your ideas matter.
