(fun intro music) - [Narrator] Hi, my name's Sophie from the Khan Academy Kids team, and today I'm going to show you how to download and get started on our app, Khan Academy Kids. First, go to your app store and download Khan Academy Kids. Once you've done that, you can open our app, and you'll be greeted
by our fun characters: Kodi, Ollo, Sandy, Reya, and Peck. You'll be taken to a sign up screen. Click Sign Up, and enter your email. We use this email to create your account, and we're going to ask you to verify it. So once you've entered and clicked next, you'll receive an email
in your email inbox, and you want to click
the verify email button in that email. And then, you're set to
go back in to the app, and start creating accounts for your kids. Click next here, and here you are. First, we're going to add the
name of our first child, Kim. Kim is 6, and we'll
select an avatar for Kim - a dolphin. We're ready to start learning now, but we'll quickly show you
how to create a profile for another child. If you swipe up in to the parents section, you'll see Kim's account there, tap the new button, swipe up, and enter the name of
the next child, Oscar. Oscar is actually older, he's 7, and he is going to be a tiger. And now we have two childrens
profiles: Kim and Oscar. We're going to start learning with Kim, so we tap Kim and if we press the play button here, we'll be in our
personalized learning path. It'll serve up age appropriate
activities for your child, like this one. If you wanted to do self serve, you could click in the top left corner on the Library icon. Then, you can scroll through
all of our activities, books, videos, our reading, our logics, social emotional learning, and you can pick out
what your child works on. We've partnered with National Geographic, and Bellwether Media, to offer a range of characters,
and stories, and formats to keep your child busy. And there's always the
offline functionality- that suitcase under the word Library. We can't wait for you to discover everything there is to
do on Khan Academy Kids!
