For kids: Ten-year-old Anna must help her mother go through all of her great grandmother’s belongings. As Anna sorts through boxes in her Gigi’s attic, she realizes how talented of an artist Gigi was and how much of a trickster she was too! But there’s one giant locked chest that Anna cannot open. As Anna finds several silly clues Gigi left behind, she can hardly wait to discover what’s in the chest! Can you create art like Gigi’s, find the clues, and help Anna unlock the chest?

What is a challenge quest? A challenge quest focuses on 21st century skills such as problem solving, collaboration, outside-the-box and critical thinking, and innovation. This set of activities introduces a problem or mystery in a story-like journal and allows free exploration to discover new knowledge and to use tools in a different / new way. Challenges integrate academics with a child’s natural curiosity and creativity while teaching life skills via our Maker Lab Studios. Learners have an intrinsic desire to learn new things and gain new skills because we focus on one’s personal best. We encourage trying. We establish that mistakes are okay and we can learn from them. Learners build, deepen, or cement understanding by making. We define the learning goals and provide structure, scaffolds, and support for learners in the Challenge Quest Journal. We provide a Challenge Kit and sometimes an alias that aligns with the story characters.
