Stories of inspiration, growth, and limitless possibilities.
Stories of inspiration, growth, and limitless possibilities.
At I Dream PCS, our learners dream big. For fourth-grade learner O’Brian, dreaming big means breaking the barriers of time itself. Inspired by the classic movie Back to the Future, O’Brian has set his sights on building a time machine, starting with a hover-enabled prototype created during Dream Time at school.
“I want to see God and visit the first humans,” O’Brian explains with enthusiasm. “When I show up in my time machine, God will be surprised!” O’Brian’s dream goes beyond just the concept of time travel—it’s about exploring the mysteries of the past and sharing his unique vision with the world. From Movies to Models: How It All Began O’Brian’s fascination with time travel started with watching Back to the Future. The movie sparked his imagination, and soon he was sketching designs, gathering materials, and even writing poetry about his dream. During Dream Time, O’Brian began building his first time machine model, incorporating elements like a hover mechanism and a creative addition—a shrink ray designed to protect his invention. “If someone tries to steal my time machine, I’ll just shrink them and say, ‘No, you cannot touch my time machine,’” he explains with a mischievous grin. His current model, made from puzzle pieces and old parts, is a testament to his creativity and resourcefulness. But O’Brian dreams of something bigger: a full-scale time machine built from a DeLorean, just like in the movie. Dream Tools: Building the Impossible Every inventor needs the right tools to bring their vision to life, and O’Brian is no exception. When asked about his dream tool, O’Brian didn’t hesitate: “A high-tech floating machine that talks and helps me build my time machine. It would be so easy to move, and it would be my best friend.” With his vivid imagination and innovative spirit, O’Brian’s dream feels almost within reach. But as he acknowledges, creating a time machine that works requires more than creativity—it requires resources, support, and encouragement. Believing in the Impossible “Some people think time travel isn’t possible. I believe it. I hope you guys believe it too,” O’Brian says confidently. O’Brian’s dream is a perfect example of the limitless possibilities our learners explore through Dream Time. At I Dream PCS, we believe in nurturing these ambitions by providing the resources they need to succeed, whether that’s materials, mentorship, or simply the encouragement to dream boldly.
