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.

Redefine Learning with Play. Explore hands-on projects that build creative confidence and problem-solving skills with KiwiCo.

Today we thought it would be fun to focus on a part of their lives that is often overlooked, their childhoods.

And I am lucky to know some of the smartest people who know a lot about the lives of presidents.

Most of this material comes from Brittany at the American Moms.

Check them out on Instagram or their website, theamericanmoms.com.

They always share great ideas about how you can teach and inspire your kids.

So once again, a big thanks to Brittany at the American Moms for all of the awesome research.

So even though all of these individuals rose to the highest office in the United States government, many of them came from very little.
