Leveraging school breaks like the August vacation, this program inspires kids to collaborate with family members to come up with creative ideas, have fun and collaborate with their parents, guardians, elderly relatives or any such adults who fit the role. The overriding idea is for children to team up with an adult family member, unleash their creativity, and win prizes.”
