Frontiers for Young Minds

Dec 18, 2017

Frontiers for Young Minds is a scientific journal written by leading researchers but directed toward and edited by kids. "Distinguished scientists are invited to write about their cutting-edge discoveries in a language that is accessible for young readers, and it is then up to the kids themselves – with the help of a science mentor – to provide feedback and explain to the authors how to best improve the articles before publication." I love this concept. And there are so many scientists - it could be extended almost indefinitely. It was launched in 2014 and has involved 300 authors and 500 reviewers since then.
