Welcome to Bedtime History. Hello, this is Brack.

Growing up, one of my favorite childhood memories was using my imagination to build new things.

I'd take apart old, unused electronics or appliances in our home, and then try and rebuild them into something new and interesting.

They usually didn't work. They were more like works of art than functioning inventions, but I had a blast doing it.

What's great about a product like KiwiCo is the things you build as part of the engineering kits actually work.

My kids and I have built a few different projects together, including a ukulele, a pinball machine, headphones, and a speaker.

These projects include detailed instructions and also explain the science behind how the devices work.

As a parent, it can be hard to find creative ways to keep your children busy, challenged, and off screens.

KiwiCo does the legwork for you, so you can spend quality time tackling projects together.

KiwiCo also has boxes for geography and culture, the Atlas crate, and another one focused on cooking.

Other subjects are science, art, engineering, crafting, and design. KiwiCo also has crates designed for kids and adults of all ages.

There is no path for you to follow, so you use animal tracks and signs.

Finally, you cut through to an open area and stop in your tracks. Everyone goes quiet.

Carillas, dozens of them lying around and frolicing in the mist, they are exactly what you have been looking for.

Tonight we are going to learn about Diane Fossi, an American woman who loved animals and grew up to become a famous zoologist or someone who studies animal behavior.

Diane Fossi was born in San Francisco, California in 1932. She grew up with her mother and stepfather and developed a strong love of animals at a young age.

She enjoyed horseback riding as a kid and teenager and she dreamed of becoming a veterinarian. A veterinarian is a doctor for animals.
