Make someone else's day a little brighter with our ARK challenges! These acts of not-so-random kindness are designed to bring a little brightness to your life and the lives of those around you. There's one for each week (plus an extra) and they can be done in any order or at any time (all at once, once a week, etc.).

Completing each activity will earn you 100 points each, and completing all 7 earns you the ARK: Kindness Champion Badge and 100 bonus points. Use your points from these challenges towards the Weekly Gift Card Prize raffles! You can complete each ARK up to 3 times to earn even more points.

PS: please keep these activities NICE! We all appreciate a little snark, sarcasm, or pranking now and and then–but these challenges aren't the space for it. Please be genuinely nice and kind in accomplishing the ARK tasks.

• STEAMonday: Start off the week with full STEAM ahead with a tutorial for a simple, at home experiment.

• Wonder Wednesday: We're asking questions. Can you provide the answer?
• Thankful Thursday: Shout out who or what you're thankful for. Do a random act of kindness.
• Fine Art Friday: We provide the topic, you provide the artwork.

Go beyond just reading this summer! Mix up how or where you read, or maybe what you do after reading a book.
