A Yoto Originals Story

Meet the BrainBots: Nellie, Buzz and Gibbs! When school closes, these high-tech knowledge gathering robots come to life to find out as much information as they can for kids before the next school day starts. They can do some amazing stuff, too – think travelling back in time, shrinking all the way down to explore tiny spaces and getting where humans can’t…

The BrainBots might be small, but they’re exploring some of the biggest ideas the world has EVER seen. Their goal this series? To find out as much as they can about seven very important inventors and their world changing inventions, and upload their findings to the BrainBank – a big cloud where all that information is stored and shared with kids!

This collection includes:

Nancy Johnson, Inventor of the Ice Cream Maker
Sir John Harington, Inventor of the Toilet
Mary Anderson, Inventor of the Windshield Wiper
Louis Braille, Inventor of Braille
Jeanne Villepreux-Power, Inventor of the Aquarium
Garrett Morgan, Inventor of the Traffic Signal
Cai Lun, Inventor of Paper

Each audio card will take you on a hilarious fact-filled adventure to learn about each inventor and how their biggest ideas came to be. Test your knowledge at the end of the card to see how many BrainBank facts you can remember!
