Hey, Wowzer fans, Mindy here.
And before we start the show, I gotta let you know that this November, with a special new episode featuring our friends at Circle Round and Terrestrials on Radiolab for Kids,
And don't miss when Elmo from Sesame Street stops by Wow in the World to make us all belly laugh on November 24th.
Oh, but that's not all, Reg.
On December 1st, we are sharing our 250th episode of Wow in the World with all of you.
We think this one is going to be music to your ears.
Literally.
Did I mention it's a musical?
And if you're a member of the World Organization of Wowzers...
Oh boy, do I have a surprise for you.
You can listen to our 250th episode early with me and other members from around the world on Saturday, November 22nd, at 7 pm.
Eastern.
That's right, we are throwing another listening party.
Join us as we dance along to our new songs.
React to the episode with other members in the chat and more.

It's going to be a November to remember.
But for now, let's get on with the show.
Woo!
Take out your pencils and a fresh sheet of parchment, for Tinker Class is about to begin.
Welcome back to Tinker Class.
It's day two, and we're ready to get this party started.
But first, if you missed yesterday's class, take a pause and go back and listen to yesterday's episode to catch up.
Don't worry.
We'll still be here when you come back.
This week, our project is inspired by our own Wow in the World episode, Rat Race.
In that episode, we learned that scientists got rats to drive homemade cars.
Our challenge for you this week is to create a fast-moving car for your favorite stuffed animal.
A car that could help lead them to victory in the Mindy 500.
Today's step in the tinkering process is all about exploring.
Look around your home to see what materials you can find that might help you in your car creation.
Raid your recycling bins for things like plastic lids, bottle caps, straws, plastic cups.
And other materials like aluminum foil, pencils, duct tape, and rubber bands.
Those might also be helpful.
And don't forget the cardboard.
You can never have too much cardboard when you're tinkering.
And once you gather all your tinkering materials and tools, start sketching a design plan for how they might work together to create a fast working and safe car for your stuffed animal.
And then meet us back here tomorrow for day three of our tinkering process, when we begin to bring our design plans to life.
And grown-ups.

Now go forth and keep on wowing.
