FAQS
What is Nick Academy all about?
Your child's favorite network has launched a one-of-a-kind educational brand for really cool kids to learn really cool stuff. Made for ages 6-12, the Nick Academy app teaches programming, math, science, and space by taking your child on awesome adventures and transforming learning into playtime.
What does the app include?
Across four different gaming worlds, kids play in stages, divided into courses that have hundreds of levels within each core subject! The opportunities for learning and play are endless. Your kids not only gain a ton of new knowledge, but they'll be rewarded with exciting prizes and scores every time they accomplish an activity, which all become part of their next "Adventure," AKA a digital escape room. We know, we know. It's awesome.
What do kids learn in the app?
Full STEM ahead!
Science: Your kids will: get the rundown on kinetic energy, feel the heat learning about temperature, find out what really matters with matter, play with lasers (digitally, of course), and so much more.
Programming: Future coder on your hands? Now they can practice series and sequences, loops, variables, indexes, and more.
Space: One small step for your cool kid, one giant leap for kids everywhere. We're covering the big questions on space exploration, gravity, the solar system, and every other out-of-this-world topic.
Math: Whether it’s their favorite subject or a topic your kid may ... not love, we're making math fun, covering addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, and fractions with flair.
Story Building: With the help of AI, kids can craft their very own stories by choosing characters, exploring prompts, and selecting creative illustrations. Then, your little authors can read their stories to build important comprehension and literacy skills.
We tie the courses together through digital escape rooms ("Adventures"), inspiring your children to learn these subjects in more immersive, impactful, and exciting ways than the classic classroom curriculum. The content was developed by expert teams and made for families like yours.
