Story

When Kalley shares her drawing of a new machine with her father, he is puzzled by the intricate mix of hammers, gears, fire, smoke, and conveyors. As Kalley elaborates on each component of her invention, the drawing springs to life, although its ultimate purpose remains elusive to her dad. It is only when Kalley unveils the machine’s final piece that her ingenious plan to prevent her dad from commuting is laid bare.

The Story Behind the Story

Indeed, there exists a real ‘Kalley.’ She actually sketched a machine. Her father couldn't construct it. Thus, they transformed it into an app instead. The full story can be found at kalleysmachine.com.
