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.

This was the experience of a young girl named Malala Yushavsai. Malala was a girl from Pakistan.

She was only 11 years old when she started to get noticed for standing up for girls' rights. Malala was brave and strong, and she stood up for what she believed.

And as a result, she ended up changing her country and the world.

Malala was born on July 12, 1997 in Mingori, Swat Valley, Pakistan.

For the first few years of her life, Malala's hometown was a popular place for people to visit on vacation.
