FirstWork is a learning app that enables kids to earn screen time by completing learning lessons. The approach provides potent motivation for learning and provides an avenue to make screen time more productive. American kids spend around 6 hours each day on their devices, using FirstWork ensures that some of that time will be directed towards developmentally relevant learning.
