His most successful invention is \u201cBetter Blocks,\u201d a toy that became a big hit in the 1990s that was sold to 2 million kids and made 45 million dollars in sales. He has moved on to global consulting, but his heart for helping bring out the best in kids remains. He has created programs teaching children about entrepreneurship and written the book \u201cHow to Think Like an Inventor.\u201d He is now developing a STEAM education program that brings the joy and wonder of engineering into children&#8217;s lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His workshop \u201cKids Inventing for Peace\u201d is the first of a series of 5 &#8220;Workshops for Peace&#8221; which is a fundraising initiative for beneficiaries in Ukraine, Somalia, and the Philippines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The kid participants went into breakout rooms with the task of <strong>building a peace machine<\/strong>. They came up with all sorts of machines, robots, devices, and other mechanisms that build and keep the peace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Without peace there is no development, and without development there is no peace. <\/p><cite>Jan Eliasson, UN Deputy Secretary General 2012\u20132016<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more from here: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/wonderfullymadekids.com\/workshops-for-peace\/\">Workshops for peace<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meet Warren Wilson, the inventor of &#8220;Better Blocks.&#8221; Warren Wilson is an inventor whose mission is to help kids make their dreams come true.
