Kidacity- Learn. Share. Grow
Welcome to Kidacity where kids learn, share, and grow together.
Our brand new season - season 12 of the podcast explores how the world actually works by taking big, often confusing ideas — like power, money, geopolitics, and business — and breaking them down through real stories, expert conversations, and thoughtful explanations. Instead of just reacting to headlines, it focuses on understanding the systems, choices, and consequences that shape everyday life. It's designed for curious young minds - like yours and mine - to think critically, question easy narratives, and see the world with clarity, context, and confidence.
A little bit about me: I'm an 13 year old from Bengaluru, India and a student of Grade 8 in The International School Bengaluru. I love building structures with Jenga blocks, learning about planes, writing, my dog Yuki's nose and most of all, Japan. I research a lot about these topics and share what I learn with my family and friends. My parents encouraged me to write and I have published 2 books so far. The Talking Walking Tree and Konnichiwa Izumi: Adventures in 2040. Both of them are available on Amazon and at leading bookstores in India.
I will be grateful if you encourage me by listening to my podcast, reading my books and sharing your feedback with me.

Have you heard of Math day? We celebrated this in our school last week. The teachers had organised a lot of fun games, quizzes and activities and we had so much fun taking part in them. Math is very important in our day to day lives and in any career we choose. In my first segment, I will share some interesting facts about Math including the origin of the word hundred and that it actually means 120 and not 100!
New York City has declared a holiday for Diwali starting 2024. The Mayor Eric Adams said that this will help children and adults understand the importance of lighting the light within ourselves. Diwali has a mythological story behind it but in recent times, people are also celebrating it for the positivity that is a part of the festival. In my second segment, I will talk about 3 ways to light the light.
