"This well-designed odyssey truly does put the universe at viewers’ fingertips."
-- Kirkus Reviews
For ages 7 to 70! - With this app, kids (and kids at heart) can easily zoom in and out to explore the universe. They can zoom up to see Earth’s atmosphere, our solar system, galaxies and beyond. They can also zoom down into the microscopic world to explore bacteria, viruses, DNA, atoms, protons and beyond.
The beautiful and kid friendly illustrations make these scientific concepts more accessible and less intimidating.
Educationally, Tick Bait’s Universe helps kids grasp complex scientific concepts. A proton is unimaginably small. A galaxy is unimaginably large. Children have a hard time relating to objects and scientific concepts that are so different from their everyday world. Tick Bait’s Universe helps kids understand the scale of objects in the universe and their own place in it. It also provides an environment to introduce many scientific concepts and facts that otherwise would remain abstract and hard for them to understand.
The result is an app that encourages a child’s natural curiosity about science without overwhelming him or her.
