for the future. Activities help them: Explore the impact of global
challenges Make complex issues simple and understandable Imagine a
better future Create solutions to the challenges they care most
about Share their best ideas with the world Science-Fact and

real-world innovators and technologies that are making this future

companies powering cities with baby poop. Diversity and Inclusion
In each Chapter, kids design a solution for citizens of City X, who
share perspectives on each challenge. The 35 citizens represent a
diversity of culture, age, gender, background, and ability, so
every reader can see themselves in the story and expand their
perspective at the same time. Without limits, what can kids create?

crucial to resolving the global challenges in business, politics,
and the environment facing the next generation. Each book in the
Design Genius Jr. series teaches kids this important skill through
fun, hands-on projects in a single area of design that challenge
them to identify problems, explore possibilities, test ideas, and
then come up with original solutions.
