Meet Max & Nib

**Max** is a curious kid in a lightning-bolt hoodie. He asks the questions everyone is thinking, and usually gets way too excited about the answers.

**Nib** is a very sharp pencil (literally). He knows a LOT of facts and is a little sarcastic about it. He's still Max's best friend.

What's a "round"?

Every day we publish one round: a short video (about 25 seconds, made for phones) and four comic strips. Each one is built around one cool, true fact about space, animals, the human body, tech, games, history and more.

Are the facts real?

Yes. Every fact is checked against reliable sources such as NASA, the Smithsonian and natural history museums, and the sources are listed under each strip and video. If something is "about" or "roughly", we say so. Found a mistake? Tell us at Homeschool Packets and we'll fix it.

For parents

Max & Nib is free to read, with no ads, no tracking and no sign-up. The videos have their words on screen, so they work with the sound off. Want new ones automatically? Follow along with the RSS feed.

Max & Nib is made by Homeschool Packets, where the two of them also show up in printable weekly worksheet packets for grades K–8.
