Frontiers for Young Minds

Frontiers for Young Minds is a unique science engagement platform for young readers and the young-at-heart. Fully and freely accessible online, we publish top-quality science across the whole of STEMM - over 1750 articles so far - which are available to anyone with an internet connection, and which have gained over 57+ million reads and downloads from 230 countries and territories.
We work with the best science institutions and researchers in the world - including the IPCC, NASA, CERN, international Antarctic programs and 33 Nobel Laureates - to create collections of articles on hot topics kids want to learn about and which educators and parents can use with total confidence in their quality.

But we don't just publish good science for kids - we go further. Each article we publish - re-written into short form from peer-reviewed research by leading academics - is then peer-reviewed by our global network of young students aged 8-15, to ensure that everything is clear, accessible and fun to read for others their own age. We've directly engaged over 10,000 young people from 65 countries since our inception, and we also translate our final articles from English into Chinese, Arabic, Hebrew and French, to engage kids in their own languages.

Our Young Reviewers learn not only about the latest science but also about how science works by being part of a crucial stage of the research process, and gain critical thinking skills for life. And our respected academic authors learn too – how to communicate outside their own research fields and make a truly global impact - an average of over 32,500 readers per article - by enabling the young leaders of tomorrow’s world to understand the scientific breakthroughs of today.

We have been recognised for our impactful work and for our global reach as an open educational resource, with several awards:
• Winner of the Impact Award 2025, from ALPSP
• Special Mention in the Digital Reading Experience Award 2025, from Bologna Children's Book Fair
• Winner of the Significant Impact Open Asset Award 2024 from Open Education Global
• Science Engagement Winner of the Falling Walls Foundation's Engage awards 2022.
