Comic book inspires kids to build their own adventures

I just came across this great new comic book called "Howtoons". Created by a group of MIT students, this new comic series is based around making cool toys and gadgets from left-over items that kids can find around their house.

The comic books were designed to inspire youngsters all over the world with a sense of can-do adventure, and to teach them a few principles of science and engineering--and a sense of the creative possibilities all around them--along the way of just having fun.

Some of the imaginative projects include making a marshmallow shooter, a pressure-powered rocket and a turkey baster flute.
