>>So we got it: we will use live game streaming to help kids learn science. We launched our MVP and saw phenomenal results.

Ahem, phenomenal results for yourselves. But what did kids learn ? How is the retention?

Look over our insta page please. Search "Kalam Labs"

There we have posted on all the new science facts we have taught to kids, also kids have built their own science projects after learning from us.

Regarding retention, kids are returning 3 times per week, spending 40 minutes per session.

That is great but are they returning because it's engaging, or because their parents told them to?

Because it's engaging. Parents encourage the kids to join but never force them to, at any instance if the kid is disinterested parents want to opt out of the program
