Kahoot! and the National Institutes of Health partner to inspire learners to explore biomedical science

Power up your STEM lessons with these Kahoot! courses offering engaging health science resources from the National Institutes of Health!

If you want to discover the wonders of science, you don’t need to travel far. Fascinating science is taking place in the human body every day! The question of “How do bodies tick?” has driven scientists to conduct incredible research over the years and make exciting breakthroughs. Scientists continue to explore and expand our understanding of topics from the science of sleep to cells as the building blocks of organisms, how we can keep our bodies and minds healthy, and so much more.

We know Kahoot! educators and learners also love to follow their curiosity. This is why we’re excited to share the news of our partnership with the National Institutes of Health (NIH)! Now, all Kahoot! users can take a closer look inside biomedical research, explore STEM careers, and more with free, interactive Kahoot! courses from the NIH.

NIH, a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is the largest biomedical research agency in the world. Their mission is to improve health and save lives by making important discoveries in health science research.

By completing NIH’s Kahoot! courses, learners can explore the science behind biological processes and see how medical discoveries have helped us better understand what impacts our health.
