Get ready to invent, explore, and play!
Join us on an exciting adventure where curious young minds dive into the world of technology and nature. In this action-packed module of Invention Explorers, kids become real inventors—designing and building their very own solar-powered robotic crickets! Through hands-on challenges, they'll uncover the secrets of engineering and cricket anatomy.
But that’s just the beginning! Our inventors will build custom habitats with cricket playgrounds, create musical instruments inspired by insect sounds, and develop clever ways to outsmart predators.
It's a wild mix of science, creativity, and fun—come invent with us!
