Welcome to Bedtime History. Hello, this is Brake.

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 you're walking along a trail in the middle of the desert.

You've been walking for many days and are now holding your mother's hand. Your dog is trotting along beside you.

You are of the Pueblo tribe, and every year visit a place that is holy to your people.

You've been counting down the days and now the steps and the day has finally come.

The air is cool this time of year and the sky is clear and blue as far as you can see.

Your father and brother are walking ahead with the others and someone calls out,

Kaya Bab, Kaya Bab, you leave your mother's hand and rush ahead with them faster and faster trying to beat your brothers to the site.

And then suddenly you stop and gasp.
