Enciclokids featured in Estadão

Enciclokids, an initiative of By Kids To Kids, was featured in an article published by Estadão Conteúdo, one of Brazil’s leading news agencies.

This post presents a summary of the article published by Estadão Conteúdo about Enciclokids.

Enciclokids is a free digital encyclopedia featuring more than 4,200 educational animations for students, educators, and families. Its content covers traditional school subjects—such as Math, History, Geography, Language Arts, and Science—as well as broader topics like inclusion, health, ecology, and social responsibility.

One of the platform’s main differences is its authorship model: the videos are created by students under the guidance of teachers, as part of projects developed by the startup By Kids To Kids. The idea is simple and powerful: learning through creation.

This model is closely connected to the concept of active learning, supported by scholars such as Edgar Dale and William Glasser. The more actively students engage in the learning process, the more effectively they retain knowledge. This approach is also aligned with Brazil’s National Common Core Curriculum (BNCC), which encourages the development of autonomy, critical thinking, and essential skills for social life.

The platform organizes its content by subject, age group, and grade level, making it useful both in the classroom and at home. It also adopts accessible language and a playful approach, helping make learning more natural and engaging.

The videos are based on situations that are close to children’s daily lives—such as learning math through a supermarket shopping activity or understanding history through the story of the first Moon landing. The platform also includes accessibility features, such as audio description and interpretation in Brazilian Sign Language (LIBRAS).

More than just a video collection, Enciclokids proposes a different educational perspective: turning students into active participants in their own learning and making schools more creative, inclusive, and connected to the real world.
