Oliver the Inventor

Explore the amazing world of inventions and how they came to be.

About Oliver the Inventor

Oliver the Inventor is an educational STEM podcast for curious kids, roughly ages 6–9. In each 8–10 minute adventure, Oliver tinkers, builds, and problem-solves his way to answering the questions kids love to ask about how the world works — from how simple machines give us superpowers to why a light bulb glows.

Every episode wraps a real STEM concept inside a warm, exciting story, so kids remember the why, not just the fact. It's screen-free learning that turns “how does that work?” into an adventure the whole family can enjoy in the car, at dinner, or at bedtime.

What your child will explore

  • Physics — simple machines, forces, and energy
  • Engineering — the design process, prototyping, and testing
  • Technology — basic circuits and coding concepts
  • Math — measurement, geometry, and patterns

New episodes are in production now. In the meantime, explore the science behind the questions on our blog — like why the sky is blue, or our guide to the best educational podcasts for kids.
