Show HN: ThinkStation – Interactive Live Education Streams for Ages 5-10

5 pointsby mayuganover 4 years ago
Hi HN,<p>We&#x27;re Mayu &amp; Glenn, the founders of ThinkStation (Free BETA: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;beta.thinkstation.io&#x2F;download&#x2F;). We provide an education platform for kids aged 5-10 to learn intriguing concepts through interactive Live Instruction!<p>Now more than ever, we know parents are stressed out. We want to help you buy back 30 minutes of your day to enjoy a sip of coffee, nap or work! Your kids can learn about the dirty jobs of the middle ages, or learning what is money whilst you sip away on a tea with a book -- and its content you can trust!<p>We’ve come from the realm of extracurricular education -- prior to testing this, we use to run a robotics&#x2F;programming camp where we taught students to learn languages such as C#, JS etc through projects and have them compete at university hackathons -- and win :) When COVID hit we had to shut down and it was pretty brutal -- especially because we were so used to teaching students in person.<p>I was then helping my sister out taking care of her 3 year old daughter -- and I realized working from home as a parent is a terrible endeavour. We realized in order to buy time for meetings, coffee or just a short bit of alone time we needed to create something educational, engaging&#x2F;interactive and well.... not youtube. Also, easy for the parents to use :)<p>We’ve built and released our BETA via TestFlight&#x2F;TestFairy (3 Weeks!) in hopes to generate as many testers and we hope to keep you entertained by our weekly patches and new content!<p>We run at 4pm EST on Mon&#x2F;Wed&#x2F;Fri (Let us know if you want us in your time zone!): hello@thinkstation.ca Our FREE BETA version is available via: beta.thinkstation.io&#x2F;download<p>This release includes:<p>-Live Stream Videos at 4pm EST Mon&#x2F;Wed&#x2F;Fri<p>-Individual Student Accounts<p>-COPPA compliant chat features!<p>Also, you are more than welcome to share amongst your family and friends!<p>This our first time posting in this community and look forward to all of your feedback!<p>PS. Anywhere else we should post?

Hello ThinkStation team,<p>Being a parent(s), we find this platform very unique, and definitely an endeavour we wish our kids to continue throughout this unprecedented time.<p>Just one question in relation to &#x27;privacy&#x27;. How does ThinkStation manage and resolve privacy&#x2F;security breaches that could make families vulnerable? Furthermore, what methods have ThinkStation currently set in place to address issues at the root?<p>Thank you,
