Kahoot! stands with Ukraine

Kahoot! is committed to supporting Ukrainian educators and learners affected by the current crisis. To protect the integrity of our platform and our users, we will suspend offering Kahoot!’s services in Russia, with the exception of self-study.

Ukrainian educators and learners need our support

We are deeply troubled and concerned by the violence and loss of life resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine. We stand with the people of Ukraine and we hope for the swiftest and most peaceful possible end to the current crisis. 

Kahoot! has received a number of requests from schools and educators in Ukraine requesting the help of our services to continue teaching despite the disruption of the war. We have supported each of these and we are now offering Kahoot! EDU solutions for free for both K-12 and higher education institutions for one year to Ukrainian schools in need. In addition, we are fast-tracking translation and localization of the Kahoot! platform into Ukrainian. 

Suspending commercial services and sales in Russia

Our commercial footprint in the Russian market is very limited. We do not have offices or representation in the country, nor do we have any physical operations or data services there. The overwhelming majority of our users in Russia are teachers and students using our free service.

Kahoot! is abiding by the international sanctions regime, and does not allow sales to sanctioned individuals or entities in Russia. Shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Kahoot! initiated a process to suspend offering of all commercial services in Russia. This includes but is not limited to online sales, assisted sales, app store sales and prohibiting sales to Russian corporations and organizations.

Prioritizing safe and secure use of the Kahoot! platform

As part of our mission to make learning awesome, and as education remains a fundamental human right, we offer teachers, students and personal users free access to our platform. We do this in more than 200 countries and regions in a spirit similar to public commons services, such as Wikipedia. 

Similarly, inclusivity is one of Kahoot!’s overarching values. As such, our aim is to, whenever and wherever possible, offer children, schools and others the opportunity to use digital tools for impactful education and learning, irrespective of their background or location. This has been our guiding principle also for offering our service in Russia.

Among our first responses to the crisis was to swiftly expand our global moderation team’s monitoring on all Russia-related content to safeguard the integrity of the platform. 

However, as the situation continues to escalate, it is vital that we are able to ensure that our platform is used according to our own guidelines and standards. Therefore, in addition to suspending sales, we will be taking all possible and necessary steps to suspend access to Kahoot! services in Russia, with the eventual exception of self-study mode which will feature only content verified by Kahoot!.

This will enable students, school children and other individual users to continue their learning journeys both safely and responsibly. We will continue to assess ways in which our services can be offered safely and responsibly to support all learners and educators, also those based in Russia. 

Supporting our employees 

At Kahoot!, we are not just a team in name, we are a team in practice. As such, we are committed to the well-being of our employees, especially those with ties to Ukraine, or those that in other ways are particularly affected by the war. We are providing these colleagues with any support we can. 

Acknowledging the current situation, the Kahoot! Group made an emergency aid donation to Save the Children and the Norwegian Refugee Council. This is a contribution to support life-saving assistance and protection for innocent Ukrainian children, families and refugees. 

As the situation in Ukraine continues to develop our teams across the company are actively monitoring the crisis so that we can respond in the most responsible and supportive way possible. 

Our hearts go out to the people of Ukraine, their loved ones, and anyone affected by this crisis.

Computer science opportunities, from childhood to career

• STEM Clubs to engage young people and develop practical skills

“So many primary school-aged children express an interest in technology, but unfortunately we don’t get many opportunities to see it in action in the classroom. Giving children the opportunity to bring it to life in a creative and experiential way will only grow their interest. For some, it may be the first step on the journey towards an exciting computer sciences career.”

“Having better access to computer science skills and the chance to be taught by highly trained teachers who have experience in a digital environment can be a transformative opportunity for young people – especially those from lower income backgrounds who might not otherwise have access to these opportunities.”

“The bursary enables me to have a better focus on my studies, which is what you need when you’re at university. The mentorship through Amazon is amazing, it has given me the guidance that I lacked before.”

• Kahoot : and Amazon Future Engineer collaborate to launch virtual tour of Moon-bound technology

Educators, parents and learners worldwide can now explore the experimental technology heading to the Moon as part of NASA's Artemis I test flight-including Amazon Alexa-with a free, interactive virtual tour from Amazon Future Engineer on Kahoot!.

Oslo, Norway (October 24, 2022) - Kahoot!, the global learning and engagement platform company, today announced it is collaborating with Amazon Future Engineer , a childhood-to-career computer science education program, to launch an interactive virtual tour of technologies flying as a demonstration on NASA's Orion spacecraft as part of the Artemis I mission.

Artemis I is the first flight test of the Space Launch System rocket that will carry the Orion spacecraft and experimental technology, called Callisto®, to space during upcoming launch, currently slated for November 2022. The Callisto technology, developed by Lockheed Martin and in partnership with Amazon Alexa and Webex by Cisco, includes the Amazon Alexa voice AI and video communication tools from Webex. During Artemis I, engineers will test these technologies with the goal to potentially make space travel easier for astronauts in the future.

In this virtual tour on Kahoot!, learners explore how technologies such as voice artificial intelligence-with Alexa-and two-way video communication by Webex are being tested in NASA's Artemis I mission to potentially change deep space travel. Students will discover more about the challenges astronauts face, as well as hear from the engineers working on solutions, offering an opportunity to explore exciting careers in computer science and engineering.

"At Kahoot!, we're passionate about inspiring learners to follow their curiosity, think big and reach for the stars both in the classroom and beyond. We're thrilled to be collaborating with Amazon Future Engineer to bring STEM learning to life for millions of learners around the world," said Eilert Hanoa, CEO, Kahoot!. "By combining this inside look at the cutting-edge technology in NASA's much-anticipated Artemis I mission with the unique engagement and interactivity of Kahoot!, we're creating a learning experience that is truly out of this world."

This interactive virtual tour is now available for free for all Kahoot! users on Kahoot! Academy , a global community and knowledge platform for all creators, learners and learning providers.

"We've seen how Alexa and voice AI technology overall can enable seamless daily interactions and we're excited to work with Amazon Future Engineer and Kahoot! to demonstrate how Alexa could transform space travel," states Kelly Wenzel, Director of B2B Marketing and Developer Engagement, Alexa at Amazon. "Through the Callisto: Space Innovation Tour , we hope the younger generations witnessing Artemis I are inspired to pursue STEM courses and careers."

This new virtual tour is the latest step in Kahoot!'s collaboration with Amazon Future Engineer, beginning in September 2022 with the launch of interactive virtual field trips to Amazon's Fulfillment Centers on Kahoot! Academy. Since launch, thousands of participants have taken part in these Kahoot! learning sessions.

As metro is the main means of transport in Moscow – fast, reliable and safe – having some skills in using it will help make your visit more successful and smooth. On top of this, it is the most beautiful metro in the world !

. There are over 220 stations and 15 lines in the Moscow Metro. It is open from 6 am to 1 am. Trains come very frequently: during the rush hour you won't wait for more than 90 seconds!
