Kide Science has now raised a total of €2.4 million. This investment is the third from Sparkmind.vc’s €40m learning-focused venture capital fund.

The investment will help Kide Science accelerate its international growth, enabling it to pursue new opportunities in Asia and international homeschooling markets. The company will also use the latest funding to enhance its existing product and hire more people for global business development and marketing.

Founded in 2017, Kide Science has created a playful STEAM pedagogical model based on research by one of the company’s founders at the University of Helsinki. Their approach puts young learners into imaginary science scenarios, empowering them to solve real problems through story-telling and play-based activities.

Kide Science’s customers come from 14 global markets. It has signed deals in MENA, the Far East, and with a large chain of learning centers in China. The latter will see the company’s programmes delivered in 70 locations across 30 provinces.
