Life Skills

Do you struggle with balancing your kids’ screen time with their education? Say hello to 1Question, the app that solves this problem with a fun twist! Our app lets your child earn screen time minutes in their favourite apps by watching educational videos and correctly answering quiz questions. And the best part? You get to decide which apps to lock behind learning using 1Question.

Learning time

Kids learn by watching short, engaging video lessons.

Do you like bugs? What about when others are afraid of them, do you wanna help? If so, then you could be a pest control technician. Pest control workers inspect a building and the area around it for signs of pest. Pest control workers remove unwanted pests such as roaches, rodents, ants, and termites that infest buildings and surrounding areas. Pest control professionals can start by having a high school diploma or GED. Then, they'll receive training from their job about how to safely remove pests from unwanted areas. In order to remove pests by themselves, pest control workers must pass an exam or test to prove that they are ready. Then, they'll receive a certificate to show that they can safely remove pests from the property. You know you don't have to be a grown up to be a pest control professional, right? Do you have any ideas how you can use your love of bugs to make money. You can start by safely catching non-harmful bugs and returning them outside. Be sure to ask your parents or guardians for permission before getting started. The best pest control workers always think about safety first. Until then, have fun bug hunting!
