The Mad Science Kids Club lets children explore science with other boys and girls around the world. Like Facebook, the children are able to invite people they know to become their friends. Or, they can join existing groups to meet new friends.
There are several groups. One, called the Counting Club, is for children who love working with numbers. They share different information about mathematics. This includes advice about solving math problems and jokes involving numbers. Another group, called Cosmic Adventures, is for children who are interested in space.
FAITH LAPIDUS: Boys and girls can buy different kinds of computer applications from the Kids Club store. One application is called Lab Rat. It lets children ask and answer questions about science. Their questions are then published on the website, along with the correct answer from Mad Science experts.
There is also the Science Zone. Elke Steinwender says this offers science experiments that children and their parents can do at home.
ELKE STEINWENDER: "They can see the actual experiment being done by one of our mad scientists. And then they can download the PDF file to replicate them at home."
Members of the Mad Science Kids Club can share pictures on the website and send and receive e-mail through the network. They can also play games.
BOB DOUGHTY: The Mad Science Group joined with a company called Everloop to create the science-based social network. Everloop is known for its experience creating social media websites for children with a high level of online safety.
