What is STEM?
STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Together they build curiosity, problem solving and logical thinking: skills children use in every subject, and in life.
S
Asking questions about living things, materials, Earth and space, then finding answers through observation.
In Curio Club: Plant Power, Ocean Explorers, Solid, Liquid, Gas, Food Chains
T
Understanding how digital tools work, starting with the step-by-step thinking behind coding.
In Curio Club: Code the Koala (sequences, loops, conditions and debugging), Robots & AI
E
Designing, building and testing solutions to real problems, and improving them when they don't work the first time.
In Curio Club: Build It! challenges, Bridge Challenge, Invention Challenge, Design a Playground
M
Number, measurement, shape, money and data, with every method shown visually so children see why it works.
In Curio Club: Add & Subtract Arena, Multiplication Mountain, Budget Boss, Measure Masters
Beyond STEM
STEM makes up most of the program. As children get older we add English, geography and history, such as punctuation, reading comprehension, map skills and Australian history, so learning stays well rounded. Prep to Year 1 children also get extra early-reading games.
How it works
New adventures unlock over the term rather than all at once, so children build knowledge step by step and always have something new to look forward to.
Step 1
You choose their school year when you sign up. It moves up automatically every January, and children cannot change it themselves.
Step 2
One unlocks every Tuesday and Thursday, with a bonus on Saturdays in Weeks 2, 4, 6 and 8. Release dates follow your state's school terms.
Step 3
Each adventure opens with two short learning cards from Cleo the koala, followed by 15 or more questions with instant, worked explanations.
Step 4
You get a reminder when a new adventure unlocks and a progress report every Sunday evening.
Every adventure has a standard level for your child's year and an Accelerated level with harder questions. Switch it on from the parent area when they are ready for a challenge.
A wrong answer is never just marked wrong. Children see why the right answer is right, with counting, number lines and pictures for younger learners.
You start with a free taster week. Once subscribed, every adventure already released that term opens straight away, so nothing is missed.
Adventure types
Each adventure uses the format that suits its topic best. Over a term your child will meet all of them.
Multiple-choice questions on a topic, from plant parts to punctuation. Every answer is followed by a "Did you know?" fact that goes a little further.
Beat-the-clock practice for number facts and mental maths. Builds fluency, so recall becomes quick and automatic.
Flip cards to find pairs, such as a baby animal and its parent, or a country and its capital. Strengthens memory and links ideas together.
No options to guess from: children work it out and enter the answer themselves, for measurement, money and times tables.
Remember and repeat a growing pattern of colours, letters or steps. Trains attention and working memory.
Guide Cleo across a grid using arrows, loops and conditions. Teaches the logic of coding without needing a keyboard.
Build a spelling word by tapping letters in order. Each word comes with a sentence for context and a memory trick for tricky spellings.
A short story or article with questions underneath, covering recall, vocabulary, inference and the author's purpose.
The final adventure of every term: a mixed review of everything covered. The year ends with a Grand Final.
The school year
Topics build across the year rather than repeating. Where a subject returns, such as coding or money, it goes a step further each time.
Term 1
Animals, weather, forces, space and the human body. Number, shape, money and fractions. Australia and the world map. Coding basics.
Term 2
Plants, life cycles, states of matter, oceans, food chains and adaptations. Times tables, measurement and budgeting. Punctuation, spelling and reading. Coding loops.
Term 3
Light, sound, electricity, rocks and dinosaurs, timed with National Science Week. Fractions, decimals and chance. Grammar and persuasive writing. Robots and AI.
Term 4
Moon and stars, the reef, water and energy. Big numbers and problem solving. Poetry and how Australia is governed. A full-year review and Grand Final.

Parent reports
A private parent area, protected behind a grown-ups-only check, shows your child's progress. A summary arrives by email every Sunday evening.
Weekly results. Accuracy, stars earned, minutes spent learning, adventures played and how many days they were active.
Subject breakdown. Accuracy in each subject, marked against the year-level average, with a clear strength and one area to practise next.
Year-level comparison. How your child compares with other Curio Club members in the same school year, shown as broad bands such as "Top 25%". Exact rankings are never shown, and children never see comparisons.
Release reminders. An email and phone notification when each new adventure unlocks, at a time that suits your family: 7:30 am, 3:30 pm or 6:00 pm.
Ready-for-more alerts. If your child is scoring very highly, the report suggests turning on Accelerated mode.
Illustration only. Figures shown are an example.
