Kinful

Kinful enhances social-emotional learning in your classroom. Kinful is a turnkey social-emotional learning program powered by student-created virtual reality. Our Kinful Kit will be delivered straight to your door with all the materials (and training!) necessary for you to guide your students through over 100 hands-on SEL exercises. Of course, that includes virtual reality headsets and cameras, so your students can use cutting-edge technology to actively listen to and inform others about issues important to them; as well as a global library of student-created VR videos, so your students can hone their SEL skills by stepping into the perspective of other students from around the world. The Solution The Problem Students need opportunities to develop social-emotional learning (SEL) skills that not only improve academic performance, but also increase empathy, reduce depression and stress, and are highly effective in addressing initiatives like anti-bullying; diversity and inclusion; and special education. However, schools often struggle to find ways to integrate SEL into their curricula. Make social-emotional learning technologically exciting for the students and easy to facilitate for the teachers. When an SEL program doesn’t require a teacher to make an extra trip to the grocery store for supplies, it immediately becomes more accessible. When it is powered by student-created VR, it becomes unforgettable. With the Kinful Kit, you’ll receive everything (and we really mean everything!) you need to launch a one-of-a-kind SEL program in your classroom. KINFUL IN ACTION Unique Curriculum The Kinful curriculum uses virtual reality to unlock social-emotional competencies through experiential learning.
