Free 14-day trial of the whole library, no card details needed
Ages 8 - 10
Old enough to want a real challenge, young enough to want you to see it work. Big Explorers is built for the moment a child drags you into the kitchen to show you.
24 minute episodes
Big Explorers
By eight, children can tell when something has been made down to them. Big Explorers does not do that. Episodes run twenty-four minutes and treat the audience as capable: real experiments with real explanations, build challenges with genuine failure points, and hosts who say when something did not work the first time. It is the library our older testers stayed with longest.
24 minute episodes
4 live challenges each week
What Makes It Work
Bridges that hold weight, catapults that measure distance, towers that fall down.
We explain why it worked, at a level that respects an eight year old.
Children can submit photos of their builds through a parent-approved gallery.
Episodes on food, cities, weather and how everyday objects get made.
Themes
Four live challenges each week, forty-five minutes each. Children build alongside the host in real time and results go up on the challenge board afterwards.
Cardboard, tape, string, a ruler and occasionally something from the kitchen. Every challenge lists its materials, with a no-shopping alternative for each.
Sample Content
Free to watch, no account needed, so you can judge the pace before anything is set up.

Other Age Groups
Profiles are separate and locked to their own library, so nothing bleeds across.
Send us your child's age and what they are into. We will set up a profile, point you at the episodes families start with, and let you decide from there. No card details are taken to begin.
