"It was so easy to just grab things you already have at home and start doing
that I tested it right away – and did the first Kide Science experiment with
kids the next morning. Both of my kids got super excited about the experiment
regardless how "simple" it was."

–Busayo, parent of 2

"Each lesson has been carefully designed, and it is clear that a lot of effort
has been made to make the teachers job easier. Kide Science lessons follow a
story with characters which makes my students feel more involved and proud of
their accomplishments as they feel that they have contributed to the story."

–Julian, Curriculum Designer





THE FINNISH APPROACH.

Kide Science is based on years of academic research in the University of
Helsinki.

The Kide Science platform offers the most engaging model to break the mould and
give teachers the confidence to teach inquiry-based lessons with play and
stories to children aged 3-8.

In 2022 Kide Science has been recognized as the winner in the very first
Education Finland Awards as the best Finnish education solution for
international markets.

Can I teach Kide lessons if I'm not a teacher?

Of course! In fact, it's one of our points of pride that you don't need to be a)
a science teacher or b) a teacher at all to teach Kide lessons. All activities
come with ready-made lesson frameworks, pedagogical tips and tricks, tips for
adjusting to different age groups, scientific explanations, and training
materials.  Each lesson is tried and tested with real kids in the real classroom
so you don't need to worry about whether it's going to work – because it will!

How can a lesson be appropriate for ages 3-8? That’s a really big age gap.

You're right! And we don't expect you to give the exact same lesson to every age
group. Each experiment comes with pedagogical tips to tailor the lesson to your
respective age groups. Take the action of measuring flowers, for example: 



It's the same task, but the super young scientists (Level 1) use a totally
different method to measure flowers (by easing into the concept with something
easy - like a finger) - whereas the older scientists use something concrete,
like inches or centimeters.

Can I teach Kide lessons online?

Yes - our lessons are super accessible online. If you'd like to read more about
making lessons remote friendly, click here. 

Do I need a science kit or special supplies?

You won't need one! We thoughtfully designed every lesson to use common kitchen
supplies only. And hey - if you don't have something: we also often list
alternatives. 

Is Kide Science free?

Currently, we offer a free trial with the ability to unlock one free lesson per
week - forever. In addition, we offer a monthly subscription (with your first
month being heavily discounted so you know what you're getting into), or an
annual subscription if you love us! Learn more about these plans here.

Which curriculums does this match?

Currently, we support the following US & UK curriculums: EYFS (UK), Key Stage 1
(UK), NGSS (US), Pre-K Standards (US, Iowa). Read more here.

Is this for kids, or is it for adults?

Both! Kids will learn problem solving skills and science process skills while
having fun, and as an educator, you will get to observe how story-based
education keeps your children more engaged and focused at the task at hand
(which is why teachers of special needs kids love us!). 

What topics do you cover?

Our main topics are Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math – or STEAM!
However, our ultimate goal is to give children social-emotional, critical
thinking and problem solving skills they very much need to navigate the world
growing up and all of our activities promote the learning of those.

Does this take a lot of preparation?

No it doesn't. In fact - our introductory lessons can be done right away with
very basic supplies you already have on hand (like pens). On average, it takes
about 15-20 minutes  to prepare – including getting familiar with the lesson
outline, collecting supplies, and printing out needed materials, after which
you're 100% ready to do the lesson.

How is Kide Science different from other STEM resources I already use?

Short answer: Kide Science is story-based, which is guaranteed to generate more
engagement and get better learning results than normal STEM programs.

Longer answer: Our scientific research shows that kids learn better when they're
playing and using their natural sense of wonder. That's why every Kide Science
lesson starts with a story from an imaginary world. Stories and illustrations
engage children and present research problems in a concrete, fun way - which is
much more effective than science lessons with no context.
