Kide Science develops 3-8-year-old children’s problem-solving skills through story-based hands-on experiments that solve real science problems. The platform provides caregivers like teachers and parents with lesson plans and optional training to lead playful and engaging early childhood education in a classroom or remotely. A proven pedagogical method predicts better learning outcomes in school and is based on years of rigorous academic research conducted by the founder at the University of Helsinki. Kide Science started its commercial business in Finland in December 2017. Kide Science’s research-led pedagogy has helped them win paying customers in 30 countries with over 1,000 preschools. For the new teacher platform, launched in October 2021, there have been registered free trial users from over 100 countries and it reaches over 1 million children. The Kide Science team has also produced a book series with Sanoma and a TV show on YLE, Finland’s national public service broadcaster. In 2022, Kide Science partnered with DreamWorks Animation and its hit Netflix series Gabby’s Dollhouse to give young scientists cat-tastic themed lesson plans to encourage playful, engaging, and inquiry-based learning.
