Hosting a tour provides the best experience for classrooms with 1:1 devices. Educators run their own tour and enable students to compete against their classmates as they explore the technology and careers of the future. Choose the grades K-5 or 6+ tour. Each tour has 2 ways to watch: A full tour (45-60 min) or split in half to tour over multiple days (25-30 min each day). Each course contains the Kahoot! tours, a vocab quiz, and Q&A with our tour leaders.

For solo learners or classrooms without 1:1 devices, utilize our single player tours. Use and share the links below to access the tour. Students move through the Kahoot! at their own pace and compete against previous players. Teachers can also use these tours to project on the screen if they do not have student devices.
