Mission As part of Discovery Education, our shared mission is preparing learners for tomorrow by creating innovative classrooms connected to today's world.
Description We create content that excites children about the wow in the world around them. We craft explanations around real kid questions. We view ourselves as storytellers: we invest in motivating our explanations and bringing them to life with wow visuals. We see kids as active explorers who learn not by listening and consuming, but by discussing, by building and observing hands-on models, and by writing about what they learn. Success is when kids can’t wait for the next Mystery lesson—and when they go home to enthusiastically share with the adults at home the cool things they learned at school.
Being an elementary teacher is one of the most important and hardest jobs. Teachers are at their best when they can focus on helping kids. That’s why we make prep easy, put expert virtual co-teachers into each classroom, and build classroom management tools right into our lessons. We want to make teaching fun because happy teachers who enjoy their work are the best teachers kids can have!
In 2020, Mystery Science became part of the Discovery Education family. Today, the Mystery Science team, within Discovery Education, develops the Mystery Science product, serving several hundred thousand teachers, reaching millions of students each month. But we’re far from done: we want to bring the delight of Mystery to more kids and teachers—in the US and abroad.
