What Generation Genius is
Generation Genius provides science, math, and ELA lessons for K–8 learners through a service that streams in modern browsers on computers, tablets, and phones. Teachers can use Kahoot! or Quizizz for live class quizzes or self-paced work at home. The maker says its science videos are produced in partnership with the National Science Teaching Association and that its science and math content aligns with standards in all 50 states. School plans provide student links that open lessons without requiring sign-ups or accounts; those links are limited to school plans. No software installation is needed. Listed annual prices include $250 a year for single-subject homeschool or classroom plans, $325 a year for homeschool or classroom plans covering science, math, and ELA, and $2,395 a year for the school and district plan. Generation Genius says it joined the Newsela family.
