Diaspora family stories

From a Sydney kitchen table to a school invention fair winner

Aria joined our Young Inventor class at age 7 from Sydney. By 10, his "remote-pill-reminder for grandma in Iran" won his school's invention fair — a project he co-designed with his Persian grandmother over weekly WhatsApp calls.

"My son didn't lose his Persian or his curiosity. He found a tribe of Iranian-Australian-Canadian-German kids who all love building. That's priceless to us."

🏅 Young Inventor certificates

Common questions

What diaspora parents ask us

How much screen time?

Each class block has short on-screen segments + hands-on building time off-screen. Parents get weekly notes about exactly what their child did. We respect your screen-time philosophy.

Are there grades or comparisons?

Never. Every child gets warm, specific feedback about what they did well and what they explored.

What materials do we need at home?

Materials kit ships at the start of each season. Includes cardboard, child-safe tools, magnetic circuits later in the year. Most household items work too.

Do classes need parent supervision?

For under-6, a parent nearby is recommended for craft sections. For 6+, kids work independently with the teacher.

Will my child keep their Persian?

Yes. Bilingual classes by design — most diaspora families pick mostly English with Persian for emotional / family moments. Many children's Persian improves through making friends with Tehran-based classmates.
