Hank Green, co-founder of the educational nonprofit Complexly, is launching ClockwiseTV, a new content app designed to deliver curated STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) videos for children aged 8 to 12. The app aims to provide families with greater oversight and choice in the educational media their kids consume, addressing growing concerns about algorithm-driven content on mainstream platforms.

After years of producing science-focused videos through Complexly—including popular channels like Crash Course and SciShow—Green is shifting toward a more controlled, family-centric model with ClockwiseTV. The platform will feature handpicked, ad-free content aligned with STEAM learning goals, offering parents and caregivers a trusted alternative to user-generated or recommendation-driven video ecosystems.

ClockwiseTV reflects Green’s broader mission to make education accessible and engaging while prioritizing transparency and parental involvement. By curating content rather than relying on automated feeds, the app seeks to reduce exposure to inappropriate or low-quality material, a pain point many families face with current kids’ video apps.

The launch comes amid increasing demand for high-quality, safe digital learning tools, especially as screen time remains a focal point for educators and parents. Green’s reputation as a trusted science communicator positions ClockwiseTV to appeal to households seeking both entertainment and substantive educational value.

While specific features like pricing, device compatibility, or content partners were not detailed in the announcement, the core objective is clear: empower families to guide their children’s learning journey through intentional, expert-vetted STEAM programming. ClockwiseTV represents Green’s latest effort to blend creator-driven education with family-first design principles.
