Inspires imagination. Helps kids dream up ideas, make creative leaps, and see possibilities that aren't obvious yet.
Goes deep. Breaks problems down, explains how things actually work, and thinks through the mechanics step by step.
Asks the questions kids haven't thought to ask themselves. Slows things down, pulls out insight, helps kids hear their own thinking.
