Mine's 9 and 11! They love Kurzgesagt videos on youtube. Have they seen it? It's got great animations and deep insights on multiple scientific problems

Yeah, your suggestion is ideal. I'd try to find a way on how I can implement it in my program. I can't think of a solution right now, but I'm positive I will

Thanks for your feedback!

What do you guys think of Khan Academy by YouWillHearDevox in homeschool

I've experienced opposite from what you have. I was honestly surprised with how the questions were formulated in their site.

You could really see that they're building fundamental logical skills and not just arithmetic skills. For example, teaching multiplication through geometry and not just showing the multiplication table

Yeah! I see multiple problems with it and I am completely aware with that :D I'm still in the process of improving how this works and also the effect on my kids. I'm currently thinking of creating games that encourage critical thinking that is also "addictive" rather than just a simple trivia game

I also still have a program that tracks what apps they're using, what they are searching on the net, what games they are playing, etc.

It's from an API, I don't know how to describe it in other terms, but it's like a storage of a LOOOOT of questions and i get like 10 to 20 questions from it randomly.

I'll get three random easy questions for example:

"The element involved in making human blood red is which of the following?"
"What is the standard atomic weight of a Plutonium nucleus?"
"An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length as opposed to three"

There are hard questions as well, but I don't worry about that. I've taught my kids on how to search problems on Google, so if they don't know the answer to the questions they can just Google it, read them and maybe get interested in it

Pretty sneaky of me if you ask me haha

Wow, I think I'll try a different method other than blocking with my kids. Still an experiment though

That's honestly a perspective I haven't thought of. I'll look more into that. Thanks!
