They’re not just learning — they’re creating.
Unlock hands-on resources that turn everyday spaces into launchpads for creativity, collaboration, and STEM discovery.
Beyond Worksheets. Beyond Screens.
The world isn’t short on content, but it is short on creative engagement. Build Your Wonder helps you turn everyday environments into places where learning becomes active and meaningful.
Whether you’re homeschooling, afterschooling, or simply looking to bring more imagination into your child’s day, we provide accessible, hands-on resources that foster curiosity, confidence, and connection.
Simone Giertz’s approach to building “useless” machines is a brilliant example of learning through exploration and failure—an approach we value deeply at Ascension Learning. By creating inventions without pressure for perfection, students can experiment, play, and embrace curiosity, leading to creative problem-solving and critical thinking. Giertz’s work reminds us that sometimes, it’s the act of asking unconventional questions and pushing boundaries that brings the most unexpected insights. Her joyful experimentation highlights a growth mindset and the process of learning through hands-on experience.
