Team Genius Squad: Most Innovative STEM Toy of 2024
Team Genius Squad: Most Innovative STEM Toy of 2024
We are thrilled to announce that Team Genius Squad, led by the inspiring Ava N. Simmons, has been awarded the prestigious title of Most Innovative STEM Toy of 2024. Ava, also known as “Ava the S.T.E.M. Princess®,” has proven that passion, ingenuity, and resilience can break barriers and create significant impact in the world of S.T.E.M. (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education.
A Journey of Brilliance and Perseverance
At just 11 years old, Ava N. Simmons is not your typical pre-teen. Hailing from North Carolina, she is a remarkable toy designer, entrepreneur, and author who has turned her unique challenges into extraordinary achievements. Diagnosed with dyslexia and dysgraphia in 2021, Ava has embraced her differences, transforming them into her superpower. Her journey, which includes developing 16 S.T.E.M. toys and authoring three books, showcases the incredible potential within every child, regardless of the obstacles they face.
Empowering Through S.T.E.M.
Ava's creations are not just toys; they are gateways to knowledge and empowerment. The Team Genius Squad S.T.E.M. Toy Line, now available on the shelves of Whole Foods Market stores across the USA, is designed to cater to all learning styles. These toys illustrate the real-world applicability of S.T.E.M., making complex concepts accessible and engaging for children of all ages and abilities.
One of the standout features of Ava’s S.T.E.M. experiment kits is their ability to teach children how to generate electricity from food, wind, and solar energy in just minutes. This hands-on approach not only educates but also inspires future innovators to explore the possibilities within S.T.E.M.
A Mission to Inspire
Ava's mission extends beyond creating innovative toys. This summer, she and her mother, Tita Simmons, are embarking on a 15-city tour to promote the Team Genius Squad brand and its presence at Whole Foods Market for the Back-To-School season. During this tour, Ava will personally demonstrate her S.T.E.M. experiment kits and share her journey through autographed copies of her book, “Ava Discovers Her Inner Genius Using S.T.E.M.”
Ava’s story is one of overcoming adversity and using her platform to inspire others. Her efforts have been recognized on a national scale, including an appearance on the Drew Barrymore Show, where she performed a S.T.E.M. experiment and shared her passion for making S.T.E.M. accessible to all children.
Rave Reviews
The impact of Team Genius Squad's S.T.E.M. toys is evident in the glowing testimonials from customers. One happy parent shared, "These kits are amazing! My son is so excited to learn about renewable energy. Ava's story is truly inspiring, and we are thrilled to support her mission." Another customer praised the inclusivity of the toys, stating, "As a parent of a neurodivergent child, finding educational toys that cater to different learning styles is a blessing. Ava's kits are engaging and easy to understand."
