Be Naturally Curious was started byValerie Grosso, a former college biology professor, who is passionate about making scientific concepts part of every kids life tool kit. She enlisted the help ofseveral like-minded scientistswho believe kids natural creativity and curiosity make it possible for them grasp and internalize topics adults usually think are too complicated for them. Ourartists and designersare also key members of the Be Naturally Curious team, because effective teaching and communication are so dependent on visualizing the topics and processes being taught.


 


What does Be Naturally Curious make?


Be Naturally Curious sells mini-courses, in the form of downloadable PDFs, each of which focuses on a core scientific concept. Every mini-course is written by a Naturally Curious expert, who is passionate about bringing concepts that are either really important or really cool (or both!) to kids. Each mini-course also incorporates a range of nontraditional teaching techniques, including an illustrated story, a craft or manipulable, a game, and an experiment or outdoor field activity. In addition, every mini-course contains original illustrations and a beautiful design. When you purchase a mini-course, you will receive a link for downloading the course by email.
