Webinars, Seminars, Recordings

This is probably not the page that you’re looking for.

Once upon a time, we were happy to invite folk into whatever topic we were teaching!

But as we’ve moved to a new curriculum (where what kids learn builds and grows) we suggest you start with our recorded first topic: The Universe is Weird.

Your kids will understand so. Much. More.

There are three ways to take our current topic: webinars, seminars, and recordings.

Take a look at the similarities, the differences, and which we recommend for your kid.

The frequency is the same.

Both webinars and seminars meet once a week. (The recordings are of the webinars, and are uploaded after each lesson.)

The content is the same.

Each lesson is a hard riddle that requires kids to learn an adult-level science idea to answer.

To get there, kids draw pictures, hear stories, and conduct experiments.

The style is the same, too —

fast-paced, funny… and maybe a little unhinged! (Imagine Socrates, but in the style of Dr. Seuss.)

Want to save money?

Want an interactive live class, or the option to stream the lessons later?

Does your kid want to keep their camera off?

Want a smaller group?

Want a hyper-interactive live class?

Does your kid want to see other kids?

Our curriculum builds on itself — the amazing concepts kids learn in one year get extended (and sometimes challenged!) in later years.

Q: Don’t all curriculums do that?

It’s really weird to us that almost no curriculums do this. (The only other we we know of is the superb Building the Foundations of Scientific Understanding, and boy does it do what it says on the tin!)

Q: Why you got to be all weird like this?

We’ve always been proud when parents would tell us we had the most high-level intellectual content of any science classes for these ages. (We could do this because we use a different method for teaching.)

What limited us was new students dropping in — we didn’t want to confuse them, so we had to repeat the old concepts.

Now that we make one continuous curriculum, we can spend our time going ever-deeper into understanding the world.

Q: If I’m new, where should I start?

Our recommendation: at the beginning. And that’s what the recordings allow you to do.
