Black Scientists and Inventors for Kids

A girl who counted the stars so rockets could find their way home. A boy who grew peanuts into three hundred inventions. A doctor who danced in space. The scientists, inventors and explorers in these bedtime stories show children that curiosity is a superpower, and that it has always belonged to everyone.

Each story is about two minutes long, written for ages 4 to 8, with free narration, a quiz and three questions to keep the conversation going. They are a good match for a child who loves 'why' questions, and for STEM weeks at school.

Questions parents ask

Are these good for a child who likes science?

Very. Each story shows how a real person noticed something, asked why, and kept going. The discussion questions invite your child to do the same.

Are the facts accurate?

Yes. The stories are simplified for young children but the people, discoveries and places are real.

Can my child listen instead of reading?

Yes. Every story has free narration on its page, and the app plays stories offline.
