Over the years, participants have shared many incredible learning goals with us. Some learners have tackled baking a cake or learning their ABCs, while others have gone as far as scaling a mountain or traveling to a different country to explore the unique places featured in their favorite book series!

The Learn More Challenge is unique to you and can be as simple or complex as you’d like. What matters most is that you learn something new and have a good time doing it. The rest we’ll leave up to you. We can’t wait to see what you come up with!
