KiwiCo, known for its subscription-based art and science kits across numerous age groups, is launching a new mini-series aiming to get kids inspired to innovate. Innovators of Awesome is a four-part game show in which three young builders try their best to recreate larger versions of beloved KiwiCo products.
The series’ first episode introduces the kids and challenges them to diffuse a slime bomb by building a giant arcade claw, based on the Kiwi Crate Arcade Claw and Slime Circuits. The second episode brings them back to create giant mechanical sweepers inspired by the Kiwi Crate Mechanical Sweeper.

In the third episode, the kids participate in a rocket launch egg drop challenge, inspired by the Tinker Crate Bottle Rocket. Finally, the series wraps things up with giant chain reaction machines, a challenge based on the newest crate from the company, the KiwiCo Chain Reaction Workshop, launching Nov. 2.
KiwiCo offers more than 2,000 projects designed for kids of all ages including the Panda Crate (0 to 36 months), the Eureka Crate (ages 12 and up), and more. The first three episodes of the new Innovators of Awesome game show are available to watch on the company’s official YouTube channel. The series’ winner will get to design their own KiwiCo crate and receive a $25,000 scholarship.
