In Kingdom Builders: Meet the Team! readers are introduced to a team of four young friends—Chris, John, Mary, and Martha—who are dedicated to solving real-world problems while embodying Catholic virtues. Chris, the leader, guides the group through their mission to serve others, using the Engineering Design Cycle (Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, Test, and Improve) to find solutions. John, the Materials Manager, ensures the team uses resources wisely and responsibly. Mary, the Virtuous Guide, encourages the group to stay ethical and caring throughout their projects. Martha, the Record Keeper, documents the team’s ideas and progress.

In this introductory story, the Kingdom Builders demonstrate how faith and science can work together to help their community. By combining their knowledge of engineering and their dedication to serving God, the team takes on challenges and works to make their town a better place. Through their efforts, the Kingdom Builders inspire young readers to think creatively, solve problems with kindness, and contribute to building God’s kingdom on earth. Each story concludes with an invitation for the audience to join in on their own problem-solving adventures using the same methods and principles.

This book provides a unique blend of engineering education, Catholic values, and hands-on learning that encourages children to be both innovative thinkers and compassionate servants in their communities.
