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.

Letters are important. Shapes are important. But what happens when you put them together? You can create something amazing. Does that sound fun? If so, then you could be a graphic designer. A graphic designer is a person who creates art using a computer or by hand to communicate ideas. Their creations can be found in brochures, magazines, advertisements, and more. Most graphic designers are required to earn a bachelor's degree in Visual or Fine Arts. Fine Arts is the study of art in many areas including graphic and design. However, experience is extremely valuable in the graphic design world. To show what they've accomplished, graphic designers keep a portfolio of pictures that displays their previous work. But you know you don't have to wait to be a grown up to be a graphic designer. Do you have any ideas how you could use your love of art to make money? Maybe you could design brochures and flyers for family members or friends for any event that they may have. But be sure to ask your parents for permission before getting started. Until then, enjoy using your imagination!
