Kidvation Global

What Kidvation Global does

Kidvation Global is a privately held, Oklahoma City-based education company founded in 2022 that develops and licenses the Applied Imagination™ curriculum to K-12 schools and educators for students ages 8-18. The research-based curriculum decodes patterns of innovative thinkers into teachable skills and is delivered through four distinct tracks: Youth Entrepreneurship, Research & Development, Social Activism, and Faith-Based Innovation. The package includes ready-to-use lesson materials, comprehensive teacher training, ongoing program support, and built-in assessment tools that align with Common Core, Next Generation Science Standards, and 21st Century Skills frameworks; implementation typically begins within 2-4 weeks of purchase.

The company generates revenue through three streams: subscription-based school curriculum licensing (annual and multi-year licenses with unlimited student enrollment), fee-based professional development workshops for corporate teams under the "Innovation for Professionals" brand, and a marketplace platform (kidvationmarket.com) where student entrepreneurs sell products and showcase projects on a commission basis. Distribution is sales-led, with prospective schools booking structured demos and consultations through a dedicated scheduling system; the company also operates a donation channel and an Oklahoma-based afterschool enrichment program. Kidvation Global claims 2,400+ students impacted across multiple schools and countries and maintains COPPA compliance for handling data involving minors. The firm has no disclosed funding, no reported revenue, and a headcount of 1-10 employees, indicating an early-stage operation reliant on founder-led execution and small-dollar contracts.
