how noun works
We provide unique learning opportunities and inspiration as we engage the future workforce at a foundational level — in elementary schools!
Our approach is simple: we tailor news stories to 4th-grade level reading level and feature them as education links from company websites, in educational newsletters and online videos.
Based on interest, we schedule and produce live online interviews with guest experts led by students. Their learning is shared online and on broadcast tv as live-action animated video, preserving the anonymity of the students.
Our programming, co-produced with students, as well as lesson plans and activities, is available free to students, educators, and parents.
