Innovators of Awesome
I got to host a kids’ game show!
KiwiCo and Conscious Minds collaborated to translate KiwiCo’s mission into a four-part game show where kids work together to solve problems using the crate’s tools. Facing increasingly complex creative challenges and alternatively working in tandem or against each other, “Innovators of Awesome” removes all the Hollywood magic; the real magic is watching these kid competitors using the skills and tools needed to invent a future of their design.
I spent a week in California, where I toured KiwiCo’s headquarters to learn about their mission of engaging young minds in STEM through “enriching, purposeful play to life with hands-on, kid-tested products and activities.” Then, I spent four days on a sound stage, watching three wholesome kids tinker their way to the prize.
It was a great experience working with a larger organization and learning how productions work at a larger scale.
