Young Leo stood on the edge of the playground, clutching his latest invention: a cardboard robot with bottle-cap eyes.

He felt like his robot was just a box.

Suddenly, the air wasn’t filled with the nervous chatter of the gym. Instead, the "Download Kids Cheering mp3" file he’d found the night before roared to life through a small speaker. The sound of hundreds of children whistling, clapping, and chanting "Go! Go! Go!" filled the room.
