DIY.org - Creative Challenges

A lot or a little?

Parent need to know that DIY.org - Creative Challenges is an educational app and learning community where kids can access a collection of project ideas and how-to videos. There are several categories for kids to choose from: They'll have the opportunity to explore drawing, photography, animation, cooking, building with Legos, designing and creating simple machines, slime, sewing, music, Minecraft, coding, and conducting a range of science experiments. Each course follows a similar format, providing an introductory video, a series of how-to videos, and a challenge prompt that directs kids to try the hand-on activity on their own. In addition to the collection of project ideas and video tutorials, the app has an internal social media component that allows kids to interact with others using the app. It's designed to be a kids-only environment and birthdate is used to verify age. Grown-ups steering the ship are kept in the loop regarding app updates and their kid's activity through emails and a separate link that allows them to manage the account. The app offers a 14-day free trial followed by monthly subscription.
