YourStory Education: Chat With History

YourStory is thrilling for kids. Imagine texting Benjamin Franklin about his famous kite experiment. “Hello! Who are you? What did you do?” you type. Ben promptly replies, “Hello! I am Benjamin Franklin. I was a Founding Father of the United States, a renowned author, inventor, scientist, and diplomat.” Intrigued, you ask, “I heard you got struck by lightning, is that true?” and he confirms, “Yes, I did get struck by lightning in 1752 while conducting an experiment with a kite and a key to demonstrate the electrical nature of lightning.” YourStory Education – where history comes alive through interactive chats with historical figures, is just that cool. This innovative startup is revolutionizing history education by making it engaging like a group chat. Whether your students are working on a history report or just curious, they can now have a conversation with figures like Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King Jr., Henry Ford, and many more. What Makes YourStory Stand Out? Interactive Learning: Say goodbye to boring textbooks. With YourStory, students can interact with historical figures, making learning history a dynamic and immersive experience. Free and Accessible: YourStory promises that there will always be a free version available, ensuring that students everywhere
