Inspired by all the cool books they read at the library, Zoey and Lukas decide to write their own stories, casting themselves as superheroes. Along the way they discover that all stories answer the five W’s – who, what, where, when, why. Lukas programs Booboo Bot with some story beginnings, middles and ends so that Booboo Bot can write his own stories, but the bot gets the order all wrong and his stories are hilariously nonsensical. Kids have to correctly identify the 5 W’s on a big game show board and put them together in wacky story. A video game writer shows how video games tell stories, too. In the challenge, kids are superheroes whose super powers have been stripped. They put together a puzzle while blindfolded and put comic strip panel cubes in the correct order while slowed down by bungee cords around their arms and legs. POW!
