Step Into a World of Imagination at the
2nd Annual “What If?” Challenge Kick-Off
A family-friendly day of imagination, building, and big ideas.
What if you could redesign how people get around your community? Flying buses? Bike paths that glow? A train that connects every neighborhood? This is the official launch of this year’s “What If?” Challenge, our invitation to young people to reimagine transportation and mobility where they live. The Kick-Off is where participants learn about the prompt, get inspired, and pick up everything they need to take it on. Designed to spark creativity, curiosity, and community engagement, it’s a fun-filled day of hands-on activities for the whole family.
Explore the Zones
Make your way through three interactive zones: Discovery, Building, and Learning. Each one offers a different way to play, create, and explore, with hands-on activities for all ages. Along the way, you’ll connect with fellow change makers from across South Florida.

About the 2026 “What If?” Challenge
This year, we’re inviting the most creative members of our community, the youth of our region ages 6-18, to reimagine transportation and mobility in their communities by asking them “What if you could redesign how people get around your community? What would you create to make it easier, faster, or bring people closer together?” Click here to learn more about the “What If?” Challenge.
This event is made possible by the generosity of our community partners. Special thanks to GL Homes for their sponsorship, and to our Curiosity Circle for their ongoing support of The Center’s annual programming.
