Summary
From the light bulb that lit up the dark to the internet that links the world, every great invention shows how much we love to wonder and create.
This desire to imagine, try new things, and make life better is what moves us forward—it turns "what if" into real things. It’s about being brave to try, learning from mistakes, and believing we can make the world better.
And maybe the next big idea will come from one of you, right here in this classroom!
