Hello from the Discovery Channel!

This verification email is being sent because your child has started to create a use for the Discovery #MINDBLOWN app.

We take privacy seriously, and want you to understand how our app works and what data is being collected, and how we use it. We aim to have a safe, fun app that excites your child to learn about the world they live in! We recommend you play the app with your child to get a full understanding of how it works.

What is the Discovery #MINDBLOWN App?

Discovery #MINDBLOWN App is a free app intended for kids age 6 and up, created for iPhone and Android phones and tablets! Users can watch videos from Discovery Channel, Science Channel, and other STEM content to encourage curiosity and exploration of their world.

There are also free mini-games to play, and downloadable activity sheets that promote offline learning with parents (example: build your own volcano using vinegar and baking soda).

The app also allows for interactive learning with realistic 3D visualizations using augmented reality technology. If your family owns certain Discovery #MINDBLOWN products, the app will allow you to enhance your learning by aiming the phone camera towards these products with additional information that will appear inside the app about the subject.
