About this episode

Introducing... Make it Wow! - the live bonkerballs competition game show where kids turn their wildest (and weirdest) ideas into jaw-dropping inventions! Hosted by Wow in the World’s Mindy Thomas and Who, When, Wow!'s Carly Q. Ciarrocchi, this interactive stage show is packed with trivia, challenges, surprises, laughs, and LOTS of creativity. Listen as two teams of kid inventors battle it out on-stage in New York City, in three exciting rounds: THINK, TINKER, and TELL EM’ ALL ABOUT IT. Get front-row seats from wherever you are and join our teams as they brainstorm, build, and showcase their amazing inventions to solve real problems. With live music from The Pop Ups, and special guests, Dennis, Gramma G-Force, and Thomas Fingerling, "Make It WOW!" brings the fun from NYC straight to your earballs!


After you listen, it's now your turn to think and tinker about ways to help solve a problem for animals with the Make it Wow Engineering Challenge! Grownups or teachers, you can visit tinkercast.com/MakeitWOW to enter your Wowzers for a chance to win WOW prizes, like a signed copy of our book Wow in the Wild, and a classroom visit from Mindy!
