Crack the code.

⚡ The twist

Combine two ideas you wouldn't normally mix.

What You'll Learn

🧠 Take any everyday object and make it BETTER. A pencil that never breaks? A backpack that weighs nothing? Improving existing things is how most inventions happen. Here's how to do it: 1. Look carefully at the problem. What do you see? 2. Think about what you already know. Does this remind you of something? 3. Try an answer! It's totally okay to be wrong — that's how we learn. 4. Check: did it work? If not, try something else! You're building your thinking muscles. The more you practice, the stronger they get!
