Charlie, our resident Mr. Fix-it, ties it all together by explaining the science behind all the fun! No experience is off limits for our gang who approach each adventure with tons of energy and unlimited curiosity! They find the fastest, the biggest, the coolest and the most unusual while taking inquisitive minds on a television journey they'll never forget!
