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.

Close your eyes and imagine standing on the center court of the biggest tennis match in the world, the US Open, facing your toughest opponent yet.

The sunbeats down on your skin, and the crowd's roar fills your ears as you prepare to serve the ball.

As you toss the ball in the air, your mind flashes back to all the hours you've spent practicing training and pushing yourself to become the best tennis player in the world.

You remember the countless sacrifices you've made, the injuries you've overcome, and the doubts you've silenced.

With a powerful swing of your racket, you send the ball flying over the net and into your opponent's court.

The crowd erupts into cheers as you begin the intense rally that will decide the fate of the match.

As the ball flies back and forth between you and your opponent, you stay focused and determined, using every ounce of your strength, speed, and skill to keep the rally going.

You hear your opponent's breaths getting heavier, see her movements slowing down, and you know you've got her where you want her.
