What inspired you to make this project?:
We need to make lots of problemsolvers around the planet, and we believe young makers are going to be a huge part of finding the solutions to the problems humanity is facing. This can only come from practice, mathematics is a great way to get started but we also want to solve problems in the physical realm. Just get started building something and problems will appear for you to solve, and the more small problems you solve, the bigger your creative confidence.
