eekMD Information

eekMD (empowering every kid for Maximum Development) creates playful, interactive STEAM-based health learning for children 8 years old and up. Dr. April, a pediatrician and health educator, created eekMD to invite children to become curious investigators. In our podcast, Mini Medical Mysteries, they follow clues and size up suspects to solve age-appropriate medical cases. At eekMD Mini Medical School, they explore how bodies work and what healthcare teams do. The fun is grounded in rigorous pedagogy, practical health knowledge and importantly, its application. Children are invited to practice skills healthcare professionals and other scientists use: asking useful questions, gathering information, noticing patterns, and comparing evidence. They don’t just memorize facts. They connect what they learn to their bodies, everyday life, and questions they may have about health (and even future health careers!). Welcome to eekMD! Where health questions lead to discoveries.
