World's largest interactive lessons library for kids

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We made an app that delivers interactive science lessons for kids. It's a growing library where kids can find every science topic they love, taught by engaging instructors. The lessons combine education with entertainment, making learning fun and accessible in one place.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Palo Alto, CA, and the company will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Palo Alto places us in the center of tech and education innovation, giving us access to potential partners, users, and talent. It's where we already live and work, so it makes sense to stay.
