To encourage children to use common sense, love constructive thinking, get outside, be curious, and discover things. By sparking curiosity in the science of our natural world and the responsible use of our natural resources, we aim to reduce fears and inspire the next generation.
Celebrate common sense every day!
Use constructive thinking to make a positive impact.
Be curious and discover things.
The BOLDer team passionately believes that knowing where things come from and learning about how to wisely use our natural resources can make you more optimistic and less anxious about our future. We are all about raising the next generation to love our earth and all that it provides!
We believe that by creating enlightening, engaging, and fun material for children, we may help everyone learn more about our natural resources. We think it is especially important for the families of the people who have dedicated their careers to the construction materials and mining industries.
We believe that anxiety is a national malaise, especially in children. Possible fears over climate change, fuel use, and carbon footprint can have a harmful impact on children and may discourage—rather than encourage—interest in our natural resources and future problem-solving.
We believe we can create beautifully written stories, poems, puzzles, and games that entertain, engage, and are illustrated to spark a child’s imagination. Our magazines are designed to encourage independent reading, reading aloud, and being outside to discover the world.
We believe it is important to learn where things come from, the history of exploration and discovery of our natural resources, and that the responsible use of these resources includes learning about botany, math, chemistry, physics, exploration, discovery, invention, and land restoration.
We believe that there are incredible stories to be told of the fabulous people who make up the construction materials and mining industries and compelling tales of their dedication to be stewards to our earth's resources.

We love to hear back from our readers about their experiences. We hope to hear your ideas about the content you would like to see!
Our whole family loves the BOLDer magazines! My 5-year-old is mostly enthralled with the amazing visuals. My 8-year-old enjoys the variety of very high-interest topics. Mom and Dad love that it’s not a one-and-done read! It can be revisited over and over with no less enjoyment than the first time, making it a lifetime learning opportunity for our family.
We used BOLDer Magazine during our participation in a 5th-grade career day at a local intermediate school. BOLDer allowed us to amplify our message about the importance of mining while providing a great take-home that can be passed along to family members when the students return home. Our long-term goal is to work with teachers, by subsidizing subscription costs, to encourage BOLDer to be worked into their lesson plans.
While on a two-hour car ride, I gave my grandson the BOLDer Magazine to look at. He soon was asking if I knew certain facts and began reading fun facts out loud from the magazine. His 5-year-old brother enjoyed the pictures and asked his brother to read to him. This magazine is truly for all ages!
