Congrats on the traction! Took a look at the stream and seems like a ton of engagement.

I watched a few minutes (~5) but can’t say I observed any scientific content or signs of a teaching curriculum. What would someone have learned after watching your live stream?

I’m a bit concerned that while fun, the content is closer to Twitch than Khan Academy—-is this just a science-themed gaming stream? Or will viewers learn a science curriculum?

We cover 7 new science facts in each live-stream.

But our focus is more on making it fun for kids rather than ensuring a curriculum is completed.

We want to build kids' curiosity for science, this will not be built just by making them remember facts, this will be done by equating science with fun.

Btw we are more Twitch for Science rather than Khan Academy through live gaming
