Why this works
Big questions deserve good answers
How far away is the moon? What is a black hole? Would the sun fit in our street? Few subjects make kids as curious as space. And few subjects get as little time at school.
BrainBite takes those questions seriously, with short lessons about the solar system, rockets and satellites, space missions and the Big Bang. Every theme is built up in small steps with cheerful illustrations and instant explanations. Going well? Then it gets more challenging. Still tricky? Then it comes back later in a different form, until it sticks.
How exploring space works with BrainBite
No memorising from a textbook, just lessons that move with your child.
Adaptive level
A ten-year-old gets to know the planets; a thirteen-year-old learns about the Big Bang and black holes. Lessons grow with your child's age and level.
Neil Armstrong helps
A question about black holes, rockets or Saturn's rings? Mentor Neil Armstrong, an AI character inspired by the astronaut, explains it in plain language, with examples. As often as needed.
Calm learning
Everyone Mode removes everything that distracts: one exercise at a time, at your child's own pace. Great for every kid, especially with ADHD or dyslexia.
Themes your child will explore
Every course is made of short modules with their own illustrations, quizzes and fun facts.
The solar system
Eight planets around one star: from scorching Mercury to freezing Neptune. And where does Earth fit in?
The moon
Why does the moon change shape? What is its surface like? And how do the planets compare? Our neighbour in space, up close.
Rockets & launches
How does a rocket get into space? Discover famous rockets and the places they launch from.
Satellites & GPS
What does a satellite do all day? How does GPS know where you are? And what can space telescopes see?
The International Space Station
Who lives on the ISS, and what do they do all day? How astronauts live and work about 400 km above Earth.
Big questions: the Big Bang and black holes
How did everything begin? What is a black hole? And are we alone in the universe? The biggest mysteries of space.

Humans in space: from the first moon landing to Artemis
Why do people go to space themselves when robots can go too? In the world about human space exploration your child follows the big steps: from Yuri Gagarin, the first person in space, and the first footstep on the moon to the Artemis programme, which aims to take people back to the moon. And after that? Mars.
Get started
Did you know…?
Four fun facts from the lessons. Perfect to share at the dinner table.
A million Earths fit inside the sun
Over a million, actually. And yet the sun is only a medium-sized star. Some stars are far, far bigger.
A day on Venus lasts longer than a year
Venus spins so slowly that one day there takes longer than a full trip around the sun.
Space is completely silent
Sound needs air to travel, and in space there is no air. Even an exploding star makes no sound at all.
Footprints on the moon stay forever
There's no wind or rain on the moon. The astronauts' footprints will stay visible for millions of years.
Questions about learning space
What parents ask us most. Short answers, no fluff.
The space courses are for kids aged 10 to 13. BrainBite mainly looks at what your child can already do: a younger child gets to know the planets, an older child learns what the Big Bang and black holes are and how a space mission is built.
15 minutes a day, 3 to 5 times a week, is enough. Short, regular learning moments work better than one long session a week, and that's exactly what the lessons are built around.
Twelve worlds: what space is (the atmosphere, gravity and magnetic fields), the sun and the inner planets, the outer planets, the moon and comparing planets, launchers and rockets, satellites and space tech, big questions and mysteries (such as the Big Bang and black holes), the Space Academy mission, the International Space Station, human space exploration, navigation and how space missions are built.
Yes. The themes line up with primary school science. And since space often gets only a brief mention at school, this is a lovely way to go deeper at home.
No. Every module starts with an explanation in plain language, with cheerful illustrations. Then come questions that are explained right away. AI mentor Neil Armstrong also answers your child's own questions.
