Listen
Our K-5 podcasts make kids laugh while they learn, align with multiple curriculum from NGSS standards to ELA and social studies, and are ad-free for classrooms.
Wonder
TinkerClass carves out space for creative innovation as students reflect and record all the wows the episode sparked — and what it makes them wonder.
Tinker
Students use critical thinking skills to sort their wonders, identify questions they might be able to answer, and choose “One Big Wonder” to investigate.
Make
Students create, collaborate, and build confidence as they plan, investigate, and present a hands-on project about a real-world question, challenge, or event.
