4.0

"With every failure, I learn something...and learning something is always worth while." Wise words from a Willy Wonka-esque scientist who wants to save the world, with the help from his robot family and the three student scientists, Theresa, Jon & Ashley. Theresa wants to stop hurricanes, one of which caused her mother to drown. Ashley wants to be the best, if only to please her parents and Jon just wants to make bubbles. Together these friends take down evil robot twins and forge a lasting friendship and collaboration that will help the future of the plant. A fun, wild ride focusing on STEM and collaboration. A giant robot spider isn't too shabby either!
