The problem

Kids are struggling — and the tools meant to help haven't kept up.

Mental health
2nd

Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death for children ages 10-14.

Academics
2in3

In the US, 2 in 3 fourth graders cannot read at grade level.

Technology
7+hrs / day

Kids spend 7+ hours a day on non-educational screens — and AI is on each one.

Our approach

We start with the brain.

Why wouldn't we teach kids about the one thing that makes them human? Now more than ever, kids deserve the knowledge — and the power — to navigate a complex world.

1

Understand the brain

Educational videos and extension activities — created for teachers, by teachers.

2

Build the skills

Kids are empowered to care for their brain and make informed choices.

3

Watch kids thrive

The payoff compounds — safer, healthier, more fulfilled communities.
