"The Extraordinaires® Design Studio is the creative thinking game for problem solvers aged between 8 and 108" (Self-description). "Wehad made an activity kit to introduce children to the world of invention, design and creative problem solving. It let them role-play at being a designer. The ‘sand-box’ experience invites children to design wildly imaginative solutions while building empathy for the Extraordinaire characters." (Murphy). Since then, they have won many awards and have added educator resources to their website, including graphic organizers and some free challenges.
