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.

In today's episode, we're going to dive into Guy's life and learn a bit about what it was like in England in the early 1600s.

Guy Fox was born in 1570 in New York, England. He was the second of four children born to Edward Fox, a lawyer who worked in the English courts and his wife Edith.

Guy's family were normal, wealthy people at the time. They were members of the Church of England, a Protestant church.

But Guy's mother's family were Catholics, and she had grown up in a Catholic house.

Catholicism and Protestantism are different types of Christianity.
