Welcome to Monsterville:
A World of Creative Discovery!
Monsterville is a busy and growing town, where young learners become design explorers to help the monsters of Monsterville shape their future one idea at a time.
In Monsterville, there’s never a dull moment.
Monster friends of all shapes and sizes bounce around, testing out new inventions and ideas. Can you help them solve problems, big and small, with the power of imagination?
For Kids
Kids discover that their ideas can come to life if they’re willing to observe, plan, and create. It’s a place where they learn they have the agency to shape their future—but also the responsibility to put in the work and build the skills.
