Hi everyone! We're looking to find a new artist/animator. We're looking for someone who's not only artistic, but who has a science/educational background, with a great eye for aesthetics and layout. Full details here: apply.workable.com/cognito-education/j/19BFFF3587/
I appreciate most of you reading this will be students, but if any of your family of friends (or teachers) fit the bill - please let them know we're searching :)
Many thanks,
Tom

Hi everyone, the following link is for a google forms survey, which asks you for your opinion about the Cognito videos: forms.gle/5h4ZM7q5pysiiQZY7
We're looking to make some improvements to the videos going forward, but it's tricky to know how students are actually using them day-to-day, and what the pain points are. If there are things about the videos that really miss the mark (or things that you really like and definitely don't want to see change), it would be wonderful if you could let us know.
Thanks so much,
Amadeus & Tom

Hello everyone,
I have a favour to ask of any school staff / teachers who use the Cognito videos and platform.
Tom and I are currently in the process of trying to secure some funding so that we can add to the team, and expand the range of subjects and levels we cover through the website and YouTube channel. As part of this process, it would be really helpful if we can demonstrate a number of schools / academic organisations that endorse our content in an official capacity. I'm aware this is a bit of an ask, but if you are in position where you may be able to lend your school’s name to our funding pitch, you’d be doing us a huge favour, and I'd love to hear from you. Please send us an email at [email protected] and I'll get right back to you.
In a similar vein, we're looking into the possibility of producing content for American schools. If there are any American teachers who might help us better understand the structure of high school science and maths education in the US, I would really appreciate you reaching out to me. Again please send an email to [email protected] and I'll get back to you.
Many thanks,
Amadeus

Hi everyone,
We’re happy to *officially* announce the GCSE maths section is finally live at cognitoedu.org! The maths section is designed to be used the same way as the science ones - watch the video and then try the questions after to check you can do everything you need to be able to. For a lot of questions, we’ve also done detailed hints to help you step through the workings. Let us know how you find it (or if you find any errors), and if there’s anything we can do to improve.
As ever, thank you all for your enthusiasm and support!
Amadeus & Tom

Hello everyone - thank you so much all your support and kind feedback over the past few weeks regarding the platform! We're hard at work ironing out the kinks that some of you have reported. We also just hit 200,000 subscribers yesterday, which is an amazing milestone. We can't get our heads around how quickly things have started to move. We get so many kind and encouraging comments every day, and it's such a pleasure to know what we're making is helping so many people. Thanks again, and good luck with all your studies!

Hello everyone, I need some help! We're looking to expand our offering and make our videos more suitable for curriculums outside of the UK, like IB and US curriculums. Unfortunately though they're not my area of expertise, so I'm trying to research how it would work by talking to teachers of those courses. If you are a teacher yourself, or you know any teachers who could help, I would love to have a quick zoom call. I just want to get a better idea of how similar the different courses are and which resources you normally use to teach.
If you have the time please email us at [email protected]
All the best,
Amadeus

Hello everyone! It's a bit late, but we just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who's been using the channel the past few years. We recently hit 100,000, and are now one of the most viewed GCSE channels in the world. It's been really exciting to see how many people get use out of the videos and are finding them helpful. We're currently hard at work expanding what we offer, and we'll let you know a bit more about our plans as they near completion.
As always, thanks so much for your support, and good luck with all your studies!
Best wishes,
Amadeus & Tom

Hi - we make video lessons for GCSE science and maths. The lessons give a concise run through of everything you'll need to know for your exams.
Each video has been designed specifically for the 9-1 GCSE courses, and although they most closely mirror the AQA spec, everything you need to know for the main exam boards will be covered.
We also have a website where you can work through the lesson videos and answer a series of practice questions to check you know all the required learning points. All your progress is automatically tracked, and you can sign up at www.cognitoedu.org
Best wishes,
Amadeus & Tom
