Trace a product's journey from raw materials to your front door, and discover the global systems that connect everything. Kids investigate supply chains, think about geography, labour, and sustainability, and develop systems thinking. Critical analysis meets global awareness.
Ages 8–14 · Project guide · 3 skill levels
Your child picks one ordinary object and traces where it actually came from. Raw material, factory, ship, shelf. It crosses more of the world than they expect. Then they imagine a disruption at one step and work out what breaks downstream.
Pitching, pricing, failing, and trying again. These are the skills no school subject teaches but every adult life needs. One small business taught at home beats a hundred worksheets on "economics."
